White Oak School

Summary:

White Oak School is an elementary school in Parkville, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 51 students. This school stands out from the surrounding Baltimore County Public Schools in several key ways.

Compared to nearby schools like Carney Elementary and Montebello Elementary/Middle, White Oak School has a significantly higher percentage of minority students, with 45.1% African American, 13.73% Hispanic, and 3.92% Asian students. The school also consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Maryland, with proficiency rates in state assessments well below the Baltimore County and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts.

Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $47,976 to $125,904 over the past three years, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 1.2 to 1.9 students per teacher, White Oak School has experienced a steady decline in enrollment and persistent low academic performance. These factors, combined with the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggest that there may be equity concerns and unique challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students at White Oak School.

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.
