Summary:

Greenbrier Elementary is a public elementary school in Boonsboro, Maryland, serving 256 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages on academic measures, particularly in English Language Arts and Science.

Greenbrier Elementary has a predominantly white student population (81.25%), which is significantly higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like Pangborn Elementary (36.85% white) and Bester Elementary (34.62% white). Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (38.67%), compared to higher rates at nearby schools like Pangborn Elementary (80.98%) and Bester Elementary (88.46%). This suggests Greenbrier Elementary serves a more affluent community, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

While Greenbrier Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school's lack of racial diversity may indicate a need to address issues of equity and inclusion within the school community. Additionally, there may be opportunities to further improve the school's performance, particularly in mathematics, and to narrow achievement gaps between student subgroups. Overall, Greenbrier Elementary appears to be a high-performing school within the Washington County Public Schools district, which is ranked 12th out of 25 districts in Maryland.

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.
