Chatsworth School

Q: Is Chatsworth School a good school?

Chatsworth School ranks 278 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Chatsworth School is a public magnet elementary school in Reisterstown, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 293. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing both the Baltimore County Public Schools and Maryland state averages in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels.

Chatsworth School's academic excellence extends beyond overall scores, with the school ranking in the top quartile of Maryland elementary schools for specific student subgroups, including female students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 19.8% White, 60.41% African American, 7.17% Hispanic, and 6.48% Asian, is noteworthy compared to many nearby schools, which tend to have a higher concentration of specific racial groups. This diversity and integration could contribute to a more inclusive and enriching learning environment for students.

Another standout feature of Chatsworth School is its relatively high per-student spending of $28,403 in the 2020-2021 school year, significantly higher than the nearby schools like Hernwood Elementary, Lyons Mill Elementary, and Deer Park Elementary. This suggests that the school may have access to more resources and funding, which could be a contributing factor to its strong academic performance and commitment to equity for its diverse student population.

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.
