Summary:
The 21223 zip code of Baltimore, Maryland is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. These schools serve predominantly low-income, African American student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 80.56% to 100%.
While a few schools stand out, such as The Seed School of Maryland and Southwest Baltimore Charter School, the overall academic performance of schools in this area is concerning. Test scores are well below state and district averages, with the percentage of students proficient in math ranging from just 5.1% to 16.2%, compared to the state average of 24.1%. The high per-student spending at The Seed School of Maryland, coupled with its poor academic outcomes, raises questions about the effective use of resources.
Addressing the stark disparities in academic achievement, funding, and resource allocation will be crucial to improving educational opportunities and outcomes for the students in this community. The data suggests significant educational inequities in the Baltimore City Public Schools system, which serves these schools, and the SEED School of Maryland district.
