Summary:
The city of Cheverly, Maryland has only one public school, Gladys Noon Spellman Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 483 students. The school's student population is diverse, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and a high rate of 87.16% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population.
Academically, Gladys Noon Spellman Elementary faces some challenges, with proficiency rates on the MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests generally lower than the Prince George's County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland averages, particularly in 3rd grade mathematics. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.8 is better than 118 other elementary schools in the district, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
Despite the academic performance challenges, the diverse student population and high poverty rates at Gladys Noon Spellman Elementary suggest that the school is serving a community with significant needs. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be a potential strength in addressing these challenges and supporting the academic growth of its students.
