Best Public Schools in Zip Code 21601

Summary:

The 21601 zip code area of Maryland is home to three schools: Easton High, Easton Elementary, and Easton Middle, all part of the Talbot County Public Schools district. While Easton High stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with a 4-star rating and strong English Language Arts proficiency, the other two schools face more significant challenges.

Easton Elementary struggles the most, ranking 601st out of 859 Maryland elementary schools and performing well below the county and state averages in Mathematics proficiency. Meanwhile, Easton Middle performs better in English Language Arts but still lags behind in Mathematics. All three schools have relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.53% at Easton High to 76.25% at Easton Elementary, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in academic performance.

The data also reveals potential inequities in resource allocation, with Easton Elementary having the highest spending per student and Easton Middle having the lowest. Additionally, the consistent underperformance in Mathematics across all three schools indicates a need for targeted interventions and support in this subject area.
