Baltimore City Public Schools


Summary:

The Baltimore City Public Schools district contains 151 schools, including 108 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 33 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this district serve a wide range of performance levels, with some highly ranked institutions and others struggling to meet academic standards.

Several schools stand out in the data, including Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, which is ranked 4th out of 146 Maryland high schools and has exceptional test scores, with 89.7% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 30.2% proficient in Mathematics. Other high-performing schools are Baltimore City College, Hampstead Hill Academy, Thomas Johnson Elementary/Middle, and Medfield Heights Elementary.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with a 4-year graduation rate of 70.5%, a dropout rate of 7.7%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 54.1%. Additionally, the district-wide proficiency rates are only 10.2% in Mathematics and 27.7% in English Language Arts, well below the state averages. The high free/reduced lunch rate of 77.92% indicates that many students in the district face economic disadvantages. While the district spends $21,001 per student, the low academic performance suggests that resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to the areas of greatest need.
