Summary

Point Pleasant Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving 499 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 13 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Point Pleasant Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to district and state averages, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 382 and 547 out of 802 to 865 Maryland elementary schools. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Solley Elementary and George T. Cromwell Elementary, Point Pleasant Elementary is performing below its peers in several key areas.

While Point Pleasant Elementary is receiving additional resources, with a relatively high per-student spending ranging from $17,286 to $21,955 over the past few years, the school has not yet been able to translate these resources into significant improvements in student outcomes. Addressing the challenges of high chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds will be crucial for the school to improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
