Summary:

Kennard Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Centreville, Maryland, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 455 students. The school is part of the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 3rd out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kennard Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Kennard's proficiency rates were 40.9% in Mathematics and 52.7% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 24.1% and 48.4%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.31%) compared to the state and district averages. However, while Kennard has a higher percentage of White students (77.14%), its performance for White students is only rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating potential achievement gaps between racial groups.

Compared to nearby schools in the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, such as Bayside Elementary School and Church Hill Elementary School, Kennard Elementary generally outperforms them in both Mathematics and ELA assessments. This suggests that Kennard may be providing a higher-quality education compared to its peers. Additionally, Kennard Elementary has a relatively high spending per student, with $14,041 spent in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average, and this investment in resources may contribute to the school's academic performance.

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.
