Summary:
The city of Oxon Hill, Maryland is home to 10 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. These schools are part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state of Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the Oxon Hill schools, a few stand out. John Hanson Montessori, a public magnet elementary/middle school, has the highest statewide ranking and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts. Valley View Elementary, a public magnet elementary school, has the highest math proficiency rates among the Oxon Hill schools. Both Oxon Hill High and Potomac High have an 80.0% four-year graduation rate, but also a high 14.5% dropout rate.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the Oxon Hill schools, with the higher-performing magnet schools contrasting sharply with the lower-performing schools. Additionally, all schools in the area have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.7%, which likely contributes to the overall academic challenges. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic proficiency rates, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic status on educational outcomes. The wide range in per-student spending, from $18,251 to $28,028, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation within the district.
