Adelphi Elementary

Summary:

Adelphi Elementary is a public elementary school in Adelphi, Maryland, serving 683 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Adelphi Elementary faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the area. The school has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (79.5%) than the state average, as well as lower percentages of White (1.32%) and Asian (1.61%) students. Academically, Adelphi Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom third of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the MCAP assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with an overall math proficiency rate of just 15.3% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 24.1% and the district average of 10.8%. The school's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, also perform well below the state averages for their respective subgroups.

While Adelphi Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Carole Highlands Elementary, Cool Spring Elementary, and Mary Harris Mother Jones Elementary, it does perform better than some other nearby schools, such as Langley Park-McCormick Elementary. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its 88.87% free and reduced-price lunch rate in 2022-2023, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to its persistent academic challenges.

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.
