White Oak School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

White Oak School is an elementary school in Parkville, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 51 students. This school stands out from the surrounding Baltimore County Public Schools in several key ways.

Compared to nearby schools like Carney Elementary and Montebello Elementary/Middle, White Oak School has a significantly higher percentage of minority students, with 45.1% African American, 13.73% Hispanic, and 3.92% Asian students. The school also consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Maryland, with proficiency rates in state assessments well below the Baltimore County and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts.

Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $47,976 to $125,904 over the past three years, and a very low student-teacher ratio of 1.2 to 1.9 students per teacher, White Oak School has experienced a steady decline in enrollment and persistent low academic performance. These factors, combined with the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggest that there may be equity concerns and unique challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for the students at White Oak School.
