Maple Elementary School

Summary:

Maple Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cambridge, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 392. The school is part of the Dorchester County Public Schools district, which is ranked 18 out of 25 in Maryland and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Maple Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low rankings and test scores compared to the state and nearby schools. The school has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (37.24%) and Hispanic (32.91%) students, and a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. Maple Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 593 and 846 out of 859 schools over the past 10 years, and its performance on MCAP assessments is significantly below the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts.

Nearby schools, such as Warwick Elementary School, South Dorchester School, and Vienna Elementary School, consistently outperform Maple Elementary School on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations in terms of economic disadvantage. The high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, as well as the school's low statewide ranking, suggest that Maple Elementary School may be facing significant challenges related to poverty, resource allocation, and other socioeconomic factors that could be impacting student learning and academic achievement.

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.
