Summary:

Seventh District Elementary is a public elementary school in Parkton, Maryland, serving 346 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, Seventh District Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments.

The school's academic excellence is particularly notable in 3rd grade Mathematics (76.4% proficient or better) and 4th grade ELA (79.2% proficient or better). However, Seventh District Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 87.28% of students identifying as white, which is less diverse compared to nearby schools like Manchester Elementary and Spring Garden Elementary. Additionally, the school has a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch (FRL) rate, ranging from 4.86% to 15.32% over the past 3 years, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status among the student population.

Seventh District Elementary's academic success may be attributed to its higher per-student spending of $17,806 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is on par with or higher than the nearby schools analyzed. This level of funding allows for smaller class sizes, more specialized instruction, and access to modern educational materials and technology, contributing to the school's consistent performance and ranking among the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools.

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.
