In contrast, Overlook Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates well below the county and state levels, potentially due to its higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.39%), indicating a lower socioeconomic status.

Lindale Middle also has a notable strength, with 65.4% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, significantly higher than the county (30.3%) and state (20%) averages. However, the school's overall performance and statewide ranking have been declining in recent years, from 150 out of 333 Maryland middle schools in 2021-2022 to 186 out of 328 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for further investigation and potential interventions to address this trend.
