Summary:
The 21613 zip code area in Dorchester County, Maryland is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Dorchester County Public Schools district. While the schools serve a diverse student population, they consistently underperform compared to state and district averages, with several schools ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types statewide.
The standout schools in this area include Choptank Elementary School, which has the lowest statewide ranking and test scores among the elementary schools, and Mace's Lane Middle School, which also has a low statewide ranking and significantly below-average test scores. At the high school level, Cambridge-South Dorchester High School has the lowest statewide ranking and test scores that are well below the district and state averages.
The schools in the 21613 zip code area serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage, combined with the consistently low performance across the schools, suggests that the students in this area face significant educational challenges that require targeted interventions and support from the district and state to help them succeed.
