Greensboro Elementary School

Summary:

Greensboro Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greensboro, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 785 students. The school is part of the Caroline County Public Schools district, which is ranked 16 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greensboro Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (46.24%) compared to the nearby schools, which have a majority white student population. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the state and county averages, as well as the nearby schools. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Greensboro's proficiency rates in Math (27.9%) and English Language Arts (41.4%) are below the state and county averages. This achievement gap appears to be widening, with the school's proficiency rates declining over the years. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Greensboro Elementary (81.15% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Preston Elementary, Denton Elementary, and Ridgely Elementary, which generally perform better academically and have lower percentages of students from low-income families, Greensboro Elementary faces unique challenges. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on equity and inclusion to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
