Rosaryville Elementary

Q: Is Rosaryville Elementary a good school?

Rosaryville Elementary ranks 629 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Rosaryville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 454. 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.

Rosaryville Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, particularly for its African American and low-socioeconomic status students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 11.5% of Rosaryville students were proficient in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.8% in the district. The school's African American and male students also perform significantly worse than their peers in the state.

Despite higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Rosaryville Elementary's academic performance remains a concern. The school's metrics are generally lower than the nearby Barack Obama Elementary, Brandywine Elementary, and Francis T. Evans Elementary schools in the Prince George's County district, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies and resource allocation to improve student 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.
