Summary

Annapolis Middle is a public magnet middle school serving 793 students in grades 6-8 in Annapolis, Maryland, which is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district. While the district is ranked 13 out of 25 in Maryland, Annapolis Middle consistently underperforms compared to the county and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics where proficiency rates range from just 5.2% to 8.6% across grade levels.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.1% to 29.6% and a high-poverty student population, with around 83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Annapolis Middle also struggles with achievement gaps between student subgroups, ranking 52 out of 210 Maryland middle schools for White students but 253 out of 259 for African American students and 190 out of 207 for Hispanic students. Despite being a magnet school, its performance lags behind many nearby middle schools in the district, such as Severna Park Middle, Magothy River Middle, and Crofton Middle, which consistently outperform Annapolis Middle on standardized tests.

However, Annapolis Middle does stand out with relatively high proficiency rates in Algebra I, outperforming the district and state averages in this specific subject area. Understanding and addressing the school's broader academic challenges, as well as the high chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps, should be a priority for the school and the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.
