Summary:

The city of Hyattsville, Maryland is home to 10 elementary schools that are part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th or 6th grade, with student populations ranging from 305 to 696.

A few schools stand out as performing better than the others. University Park Elementary ranks 452 out of 865 Maryland elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, with the highest proficiency rates in both math and English language arts across all grades. Cesar Chavez Elementary, a magnet school, also ranks 456 out of 865 and has a 2-star rating, with strong performance in both math and English language arts, particularly in 5th grade science. Hyattsville Elementary ranks 517 out of 865 and has the second-highest proficiency rates in the group.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools, with schools that have the highest rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients tending to have the lowest proficiency rates. Additionally, all schools in the data set have a chronic absenteeism rate of 32.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and this is likely a contributing factor to the overall low performance of the district.
