Best Public Schools in Zip Code 21678


Summary:

The 21678 zip code is home to a single public high school, Kent County High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, its math proficiency rates in Algebra II and Geometry are significantly lower than the state's. With over half of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Kent County High serves a population with relatively low socioeconomic status, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed.

Over the past three school years, Kent County High's statewide ranking has dropped from 107 out of 225 Maryland high schools in 2021-2022 to 112 out of 146 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for the school to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to its declining performance relative to other schools in the state. The school's per-student spending of $17,066 and a student-teacher ratio of 11:1 in the 2022-2023 school year indicate that it has access to adequate resources, but the disparities in subject-specific proficiency rates suggest a potential need for improvement in the school's curriculum and instruction, particularly in math.

As the only school in the 21678 zip code, Kent County High lacks direct comparisons to other schools in the immediate area. Expanding the analysis to include schools in neighboring zip codes or the broader Kent County Public Schools district could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance and context.
