Summary

Glen Burnie Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving 503 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 13 out of 25 in the state of Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased spending per student, Glen Burnie Park Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.1% to 30.3%, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (24.7%) and English Language Arts (42.1%) were well below the district (28.8% and 56.3%) and state (26.5% and 50.8%) averages.

When comparing Glen Burnie Park Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Severn Elementary and Quarterfield Elementary, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and student group performance. The school's declining performance over time, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking, suggests the need for a comprehensive review and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
