Easton Elementary

Summary:

Easton Elementary is a public elementary school in Easton, Maryland, serving 1,078 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Talbot County Public Schools district, which is ranked 14 out of 25 in the state.

Easton Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is below the Talbot County and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels, with proficiency rates of just 19.8% in Mathematics and 30.2% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 24.1% and 48.4%, respectively. The school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with African American and multi-racial students performing particularly poorly in Mathematics. However, the school's Hispanic students perform better in English Language Arts, ranking 147 out of 347 Maryland elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Tilghman Elementary, St. Michaels Elementary, and White Marsh Elementary, generally outperform Easton Elementary on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in both subjects. These schools also have lower percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 42.94% to 58.51% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, compared to Easton Elementary's 76.25%. Despite spending more per student than the state average, Easton Elementary's academic performance remains below the state and district averages, suggesting that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address these disparities.

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.
