Best Public Schools in Zip Code 21222

Summary:

The 21222 zip code area of Baltimore, Maryland is home to 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the area are Logan Elementary and Charlesmont Elementary, which have the highest proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts compared to other elementary schools in the 21222 zip code. In contrast, Dundalk High and Dundalk Middle struggle significantly, with only 24.8% and 25.9% of their students, respectively, being proficient or better in English Language Arts, well below the Baltimore County Public Schools and Maryland state averages.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools having higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch generally performing worse than their more affluent counterparts. However, the alternative Battle Monument School stands out for its specialized approach, offering a tailored educational environment with a very low student-teacher ratio of 2.1, providing individualized attention to its 62 students.
