Panorama Elementary

Q: Is Panorama Elementary a good school?

Panorama Elementary ranks 644 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Panorama Elementary is a public elementary school located in Temple Hills, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 568. 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.

Panorama Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, with a student population that is predominantly African American (76.23%) and economically disadvantaged, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 48.81% to 71.08% over the past 3 years). The school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 644-723 out of 802-859 schools over the past 10 years, and its performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. Nearby schools, such as Hillcrest Heights Elementary and Glassmanor Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting broader systemic issues within the Prince George's County Public Schools district.

While Panorama Elementary's Hispanic students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state and district, the school's African American and low socioeconomic status students perform significantly worse, ranking 721 out of 796 and 384 out of 546, respectively, in the 2020-2021 school year. The high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.5 to 13.9 over the past 3 years, may also be a contributing factor to the school's persistent underperformance. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors and improve academic outcomes for all students at Panorama Elementary.

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.

I would rank 0 stars, if that option was available. The administration of this school is a joke. Half of the teachers border on illiteracy, themselves no wonder the students rank so poorly amongst the county & state. In addition to providing abysmal education, the administration and staff are systemically abusive towards the students, parents, and families. This entire school needs an overhaul, from the top down.

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.
