Yough Glades Elementary

Q: Is Yough Glades Elementary a good school?

Yough Glades Elementary ranks 424 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Yough Glades Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakland, Maryland, serving 280 students in grades PK-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.

While Yough Glades Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.43%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Westernport Elementary and Friendsville Elementary, its test scores lag behind the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts. The school's proficiency rates were 28.2% in math and 40.2% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 24.1% and 48.4%, respectively. Additionally, Yough Glades has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.43% to 67.61% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite spending more per student ($19,091 in 2020-2021) compared to the state and district averages, Yough Glades Elementary's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the years. Nearby schools like Accident Elementary and Crellin Elementary have higher test scores and better overall performance, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that Yough Glades Elementary may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning and address potential achievement gaps within the school.

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.
