Rogers Heights Elementary

Summary:

Rogers Heights Elementary is a public elementary school in Bladensburg, Maryland, serving 686 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Rogers Heights Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance on state assessments compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.1% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, and 26.5% were proficient or better in English language arts, compared to 10.8% and 36.1% in the district, and 24.1% and 48.4% statewide. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (93.29%) may be a significant factor contributing to these lower academic outcomes.

While Rogers Heights Elementary's overall performance is concerning, the school's relatively high per-student spending ($16,340 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio (15:1 in 2022-2023) suggest a focus on supporting student learning. Additionally, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall student population, ranking in the top half of Maryland elementary schools in these subgroups. This indicates that the school has the potential to improve overall academic outcomes through targeted interventions and support, particularly for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Collaboration with nearby higher-performing schools, such as Hyattsville Elementary, Templeton Elementary, and Bladensburg Elementary, may provide opportunities for Rogers Heights Elementary to learn from successful practices and strategies.

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.
