Best Public Schools in Zip Code 20602


Summary:

The 20602 zip code area in Maryland is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools.

Among the standout schools in the area are Mary B. Neal Elementary School and Dr. Gustavus Brown Elementary, both of which outperform the Charles County Public Schools district and the state averages in math and English language arts proficiency. These higher-performing schools tend to have lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch and lower student-teacher ratios.

In contrast, schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch, such as Dr. Samuel A. Mudd Elementary and Eva Turner Elementary, struggle the most academically. The data suggests a potential correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes, with the higher-spending schools generally performing better. However, the performance of the lone middle school, Benjamin Stoddert Middle School, and the high school, St. Charles High School, indicates room for improvement at the secondary level.
