Carrollton Elementary

Summary:

Carrollton Elementary is a public elementary school in New Carrollton, Maryland, serving 580 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.

Carrollton Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (64.66%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 6.05% to 85.67% Hispanic. This unique student population likely contributes to the school's consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools over the past 8 years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.9% of Carrollton Elementary students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 19.8% at Seabrook Elementary, 9.1% at Gaywood Elementary, and 7.8% at Legends Public Charter School.

Carrollton Elementary also faces challenges with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.39% to 91.21% over the past 3 years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 16.8. These factors, combined with the school's low academic performance across all grades and subjects, suggest that Carrollton Elementary may require targeted interventions and support to address the educational needs of its unique student population and improve overall outcomes.

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.
