Summary

Middlesex Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 425 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in the state.

Middlesex Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are much lower than the Middleborough Elementary, Orems Elementary, and Martin Boulevard Elementary, which are nearby schools that generally perform better academically. Middlesex Elementary also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 28% to 44.3%, which is significantly higher than the typical 15-20% rate.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Middlesex Elementary, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning more effectively. Addressing the challenges at Middlesex Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions to improve attendance and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
