John L Gildner Regional Inst for Children & Adol

Summary:

John L Gildner Regional Inst for Children & Adol is a public high school in Rockville, Maryland, serving grades 5-12 with a small student population of 84 students. Despite its high per-student spending, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the surrounding Montgomery County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland.

The school's academic performance is significantly below average, with only 17.4% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in MCAP/English Language Arts, compared to 55.1% in the district and 53.5% statewide. Its MCAP/Algebra I proficiency rate is also low, at just 10%, compared to 22.2% in the district and 17.2% statewide. Consequently, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Maryland, receiving 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

While the school has a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of African American (36.9%) and Hispanic (20.24%) students, it also has a high percentage of students (63.1%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student groups. The school's high per-student spending of $58,637, which is significantly higher than the $14,316 to $18,914 spent per student at nearby high schools like Watkins Mill High, Rockville High, and Col. Zadok Magruder High, does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.

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.
