Summary:
The 20770 zip code area of Greenbelt, Maryland is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state, the schools in this area show a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions.
The top-performing schools in the area are the magnet programs, Dora Kennedy French Immersion and Greenbelt Middle, which consistently outperform the district and state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, Springhill Lake Elementary, despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate, has the lowest proficiency rates in the area. The high school, Eleanor Roosevelt High, performs better than the district average but lags behind the top-performing magnet schools.
Interestingly, the spending per student does not seem to directly correlate with academic performance, as the highest-spending school, Springhill Lake Elementary, has the lowest proficiency rates. The data suggests that the magnet school model may be an effective approach to improving academic outcomes in this area, while the challenges faced by high-poverty schools, such as Springhill Lake Elementary, highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
