Mayfield Woods Middle

Summary:

Mayfield Woods Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Elkridge, Maryland, which is part of the highly-ranked Howard County Public Schools district. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics.

Mayfield Woods Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students performing better than male students, and Asian, Hispanic, and White students performing better than low-income students. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower academic outcomes. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, it consistently ranks in the middle to lower tiers of Maryland middle schools, suggesting ongoing challenges in improving student achievement.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Howard County district, such as Dunloggin Middle, Ellicott Mills Middle, and Bonnie Branch Middle, Mayfield Woods Middle generally performs below the top-performing schools in the area. Addressing the school's challenges in mathematics, as well as the significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, may be crucial for Mayfield Woods Middle to improve student outcomes and better serve its diverse community.

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.
