Summary:
Accokeek, Maryland is home to a single public school, Accokeek Academy, which serves students from Kindergarten through 8th grade as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district.
Accokeek Academy stands out as a high-performing academic outlier within its district. While Prince George's County Public Schools ranks in the 12th percentile statewide, this school consistently outperforms both the district and state averages in core subjects. In the 2025-2026 school year, overall English Language Arts proficiency reached 61.1%, well above the state average of 51.7%, and math proficiency was 30.5%, also exceeding the state average of 27.1%. The school's most impressive metric is its Algebra I End of Course exam, where a remarkable 95.7% of students were proficient—more than four times the state average. The school has also shown a positive ranking trend, moving from the 56th percentile to the 60th percentile over the last three years, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is significantly better than the district's 30.2%.
Despite these strengths, the data reveals areas for growth. There is a notable gap between ELA and math performance, with math proficiency dropping sharply from 45.6% in 3rd grade to just 18.9% in 5th grade, suggesting a need for targeted intervention in upper elementary math. However, the school's strong performance in 8th grade science (39.6% vs. the district's 16.2%) and its exceptional Algebra I results indicate that students are very well-prepared for high school. With 45.81% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 16:1, Accokeek Academy is a bright spot that effectively supports its community.
