While the schools share a common district, they exhibit significant disparities in academic performance, with Malcolm Elementary School standing out as the highest-performing school in the area.
Malcolm Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics and English language arts proficiency, ranking 484 out of 859 Maryland elementary schools. In contrast, John Hanson Middle School and J.P. Ryon Elementary School have particularly low mathematics proficiency rates.

The schools in the 20601 zip code area serve a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students. However, the data suggests a relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower proficiency rates. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students in the area.
