Crellin Elementary

Summary:

Crellin Elementary is a public elementary school located in Oakland, Maryland, serving 140 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Garrett County Public Schools district, which is ranked 11 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crellin Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in mathematics and English language arts, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The school's 5th-grade students also perform better than the district and state in science. This impressive academic achievement is noteworthy given that Crellin Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (over 56%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, an indicator of the school's socioeconomic status. Additionally, Crellin Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.4) compared to the nearby schools, such as Friendsville Elementary, Accident Elementary, and Broad Ford Elementary, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Crellin Elementary's performance is impressive, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (95%), which is not representative of the racial diversity seen in many other parts of the state. This may be an area for the school to consider in terms of promoting inclusivity and diversity. Additionally, there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's 5th-grade science performance, which lags behind the district and state averages. Overall, Crellin Elementary is a high-performing elementary school within the Garrett County Public Schools district, with a strong focus on mathematics and English language arts instruction.

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.
