Chesapeake Math and IT South Public Charter

Summary:

Chesapeake Math and IT South Public Charter is a public charter school in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, serving 1,486 students in grades K-12. The school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outpacing both the Prince George's County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in mathematics and English language arts proficiency.

Chesapeake Math and IT South Public Charter's proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 21.2% in mathematics and 60.2% in English language arts, compared to the district's 10.8% and 36.1%, respectively, and the state's 24.1% and 48.4%. The school's performance is especially strong in 10th-grade English language arts, with a proficiency rate of 69.8%, significantly higher than the district's 45.1% and the state's 55.3%. However, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.1 students per teacher, compared to the nearby James E. Duckworth and C. Elizabeth Rieg schools, which have much lower ratios of 5.5 and 6.0, respectively.

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.
