Summary

Belmont Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 171 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belmont Elementary has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Maryland, with a statewide ranking between 759 and 865 out of 853 to 867 schools over the past decade. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, with a brief 1-star rating in 2010-2011 and 2024-2025. Key factors contributing to the school's poor performance include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, well-below-average academic achievement in mathematics, English language arts, and science, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Belmont Elementary receives relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,601 to $31,890 in recent years, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. In comparison, nearby schools such as KIPP Harmony Academy, Empowerment Academy, and Rosemont Elementary/Middle tend to have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better SchoolDigger ratings, suggesting that Belmont Elementary faces significant challenges in supporting its students' educational needs.
