Best Public Schools in Zip Code 21213

Summary:

The 10 schools located in the 21213 zip code area of Baltimore, Maryland, serve primarily elementary and middle school students, with no high schools or alternative schools in the data set. The schools are part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the schools, The Green School of Baltimore, a public charter elementary/middle school, stands out with the highest performance across multiple metrics. It ranks 295th out of 859 Maryland elementary schools, has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and significantly outperforms the district and state averages in math and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, the majority of the traditional public schools in the 21213 zip code struggle, with most ranking in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary and middle schools.

The schools in this area face significant challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.95% to 92.12%. Test scores on the MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) are generally low compared to state averages, except for The Green School of Baltimore. The variation in spending per student, from $14,634 to $125,197, and student-teacher ratios, from 3.2 to 28.2, suggest that resource allocation and staffing may be areas to explore further in order to improve educational outcomes for the predominantly African American student population in this low-income community.
