John Hanson Montessori

Summary:

John Hanson Montessori is a public magnet elementary and middle school in Oxon Hill, Maryland, serving 491 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This diverse school, with a predominantly African American student population, has a mix of academic strengths and challenges.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA), consistently outpacing the Prince George's County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 59.9%, compared to 36.1% for the district and 48.4% for the state. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are significantly lower, at only 8.1%, indicating a need to focus on improving math instruction and support.

John Hanson Montessori's statewide ranking among Maryland elementary schools has fluctuated, ranging from 369 out of 802 schools in 2020-2021 to 585 out of 862 schools in 2021-2022. While the school's African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking 144 out of 504 Maryland elementary schools in 2020-2021, the school's female and male students rank in the middle to lower range, suggesting potential disparities in academic achievement. Additionally, the school's relatively lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to some nearby schools like Barnaby Manor Elementary and J. Frank Dent Elementary, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

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.

Open Quote My child attended the preK 3 program. My child had some difficulties adjusting to the teachers at the school and my child had an incident occur where my daughter destroyed the classroom. The teachers and administrators had no problem showing me pictures of what my child had done, but FAILED TO MENTION THAT MY CHILD WAS LEFT ALONE IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!!!! Shortly after the incident occured my child told me that her teachers put her in the "thinking chair" and left the classroom with the other students. I felt terrible because the teachers made me feel like my child was a tyrant when in fact they left my child ALONE!!! After the incident I withdrew my child from the program. Even though my child was not a model 4 yr old student, my child did not deserve to be left alone in a classroom. Close Quote

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.
