Cedarmere Elementary

Summary:

Cedarmere Elementary is a public elementary school in Reisterstown, Maryland, serving 549 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the county and state averages.

One of Cedarmere Elementary's key strengths is its support for certain student subgroups. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school ranked in the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's overall MCAP test scores, particularly in mathematics, lag behind nearby schools like Chatsworth School, Franklin Elementary, and Lyons Mill Elementary. Cedarmere Elementary has also experienced a decline in its white student population, with a corresponding increase in African American and Hispanic students, which may be a result of demographic changes in the local community.

Despite these challenges, Cedarmere Elementary's diverse student population and its relatively high per-student spending of $14,674 in the 2020-2021 school year suggest that the school has the resources and potential to improve its academic performance. Continued efforts to address the needs of its diverse learners and to align its curriculum and instruction with the state standards could help Cedarmere Elementary better serve its community and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
