Deerfield Run Elementary

Summary:

Deerfield Run Elementary is a public elementary school in Laurel, Maryland, serving 577 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.

Deerfield Run Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance. The school has a much higher percentage of African American (54.42%) and Hispanic (40.21%) students compared to the state average, and its proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8% of Deerfield Run students were proficient in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.8% in the district. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.59% to 92.15%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Deerfield Run Elementary performs significantly worse than Vansville Elementary and Scotchtown Hills Elementary in the Prince George's County Public Schools district, as well as Laurel Woods Elementary in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district. The significant overrepresentation of African American and Hispanic students at Deerfield Run Elementary, coupled with their lower academic performance compared to their peers at other schools, suggests the presence of racial achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

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.
