Summary:
The 20667 zip code in Maryland is home to a single public elementary school, Park Hall Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 501 students. The school's student body is racially diverse, with a significant proportion of African American and Hispanic students, and a high percentage (63.07%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need among the population.
Academically, Park Hall Elementary's performance is mixed compared to county and state averages. While its English Language Arts proficiency rate of 41.9% is higher than the state average, its mathematics (26.4%) and science (11.9%) proficiency rates lag behind both the county and state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 373 out of 862 Maryland elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 473 out of 859 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period, suggesting that the school may be facing academic challenges that need to be addressed.
Despite the school's diverse student population and high poverty levels, which may present unique challenges, Park Hall Elementary has an opportunity to improve its academic performance, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science, to better support the learning needs of its students and ensure they have the necessary tools to succeed. Targeted interventions and additional resources may be required to help the school and its students reach their full potential.
