Academically, Glenn Dale Elementary struggles, with only 15.3% of students proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 24.1% statewide and 10.8% in the Prince George's County Public Schools district. The school's performance across various MCAP subjects and grade levels is below state and district averages. This low academic performance is a significant concern, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (72.62% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) may be a contributing factor to the academic difficulties. Addressing these socioeconomic disparities and providing additional resources and support to students from low-income backgrounds could be crucial in driving improvements at Glenn Dale Elementary.
