Summary:
The 20640 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, the data reveals significant disparities in their academic performance and resources.
The standout schools in this area are Henry E. Lackey High School and Indian Head Elementary School, both of which have consistently low statewide rankings and test scores that fall well below the state and district averages. These schools also have the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
In contrast, Matthew Henson Middle School and General Smallwood Middle School have relatively higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively. However, the overall performance of the schools in the 20640 zip code suggests that students in this area may not be receiving the same level of educational opportunities and resources as their peers in higher-performing schools. This disparity highlights the need for targeted interventions and additional support to address the achievement gap and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Charles County Public Schools district.
