Summary

Beall Elementary is a public elementary school located in Frostburg, Maryland, serving 413 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Allegany County Public Schools district, which is ranked 12 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beall Elementary consistently outperforms the Allegany County and Maryland state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Beall's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 43.1%, compared to 28.8% for Allegany County and 26.5% for Maryland. Similarly, Beall's ELA proficiency rate was 53.6%, compared to 53% for Allegany County and 50.8% for Maryland. Beall's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 40% in 2024-2025 is also significantly higher than the Allegany County (29.2%) and Maryland (25.6%) averages. However, Beall Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.1% to 43.5% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

Interestingly, Frost Elementary, located just 1.2 miles away, is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Maryland and significantly outperforming Beall in both Mathematics and ELA. Additionally, while Beall's performance for female and male students is relatively similar, its White student subgroup ranks lower, in the bottom third of Maryland elementary schools, indicating a potential achievement gap that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
