Parkville Middle

Summary:

Parkville Middle is a public magnet middle school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 999 students in grades 6-8 with a diverse student population. While the school's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the Baltimore County and Maryland averages, it shows some strengths and interesting comparisons to nearby schools.

Parkville Middle's performance on MCAP tests varies, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics compared to the county and state, but stronger results in English Language Arts. The school's diverse student body includes a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, yet its low-socioeconomic status students perform well compared to other Maryland middle schools. Interestingly, Hispanic students at Parkville Middle outperform their peers statewide, while students with special education needs lag behind.

When compared to nearby schools like Dumbarton Middle and Perry Hall Middle, Parkville Middle generally underperforms, with lower proficiency rates in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, Parkville's diverse student population and its ability to support the academic achievement of Hispanic students suggest areas of strength that warrant further investigation to identify opportunities for improvement and build on the school's successes.

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.

Open Quote Excellent administration. Supportive and enthusiastic teachers. My kids had a great experience at this school! Close Quote


by a citizen
Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Open Quote I am a former member of this school and I think that this school deserves at least four stars because I have seen a growing number of honor students. As a former member I am outraged that you would consider a school's ranking by test scores and not how well they perform in their community. This form of bias should not be reflecting off of my former school and I believe you should reconsider your thought of this school. Think of how many people are in the National Junior Honor Society. Make judgments based on their citizenship. This goes for all other schools too and not just in Baltimore. Close Quote

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.
