While 36.96% of Sharpsburg Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's relatively high spending of $13,228 per student suggests it has access to adequate resources to support its educational programs.
Overall, Washington County Public Schools is fortunate to have a high-performing, well-resourced elementary school like Sharpsburg serving the 21782 zip code. However, the limited racial diversity and relatively high free/reduced lunch rate indicate that there may be room for improvement in ensuring equitable access and outcomes for all students in the school.
