Summary:
The city of Princess Anne, Maryland is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Greenwood Elementary School and Princess Anne Elementary School) and 1 high school (Washington Academy and High School) - all part of the Somerset County Public Schools district.
Among the 3 schools, Greenwood Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Washington Academy and High School lags significantly behind, with low academic performance on state assessments despite having the highest graduation rate and the highest dropout rate among the schools.
A concerning trend across all 3 schools is the very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.5% to 33.5%, indicating a significant portion of students are missing a substantial amount of school. Additionally, the elementary schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes do not necessarily reflect this, pointing to systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
