Patuxent Appeal Elementary Campus

Summary:

Patuxent Appeal Elementary Campus is a public elementary school located in Lusby, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 712. The school is part of the Calvert County Public Schools district, which is ranked 5 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Patuxent Appeal has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (18.54%) and Hispanic (9.27%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science, is generally lower than the Calvert County and Maryland averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Patuxent Appeal's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 33.3%, compared to 32.8% for Calvert County and 24.1% for Maryland. The school's performance gaps for specific student groups, such as African American and White students, are also significant compared to state averages.

While Patuxent Appeal's academic performance is lower than the nearby Mutual Elementary and St. Leonard Elementary schools within the Calvert County district, it performs better than some of the nearby schools in the St. Mary's County Public Schools district, such as George Washington Carver Elementary and Lexington Park Elementary, which have significantly lower proficiency rates. Patuxent Appeal's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student suggest potential areas for improvement through targeted interventions and support.

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.
