Q: Is Perry Hall High a good school?

Perry Hall High ranks 101 st of 146 Maryland high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Perry Hall High is a public high school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 2,029 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Perry Hall High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of White and Asian students, the school's academic performance is a concern. Its test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.9% of students were proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics, compared to 19.3% in the Baltimore County Public Schools district and 24.1% statewide. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (45.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Perry Hall High performs relatively well in English Language Arts, with 55% of students proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district average of 41.9% and the state average of 48.4%. However, the school's struggles in mathematics are a significant concern, with only 8.9% of students proficient or better, significantly lower than the district and state averages. The nearby magnet schools, such as Eastern Technical High School and Kenwood High, significantly outperform Perry Hall High in both mathematics and English Language Arts, highlighting the potential impact of specialized programs and selective admissions on student achievement.

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.
