Baltimore County Public Schools


Summary:

The Baltimore County Public Schools district encompasses 173 schools, including 111 elementary schools, 29 middle schools, 30 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The schools in this district demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some highly ranked institutions like Eastern Technical High School and Riderwood Elementary standing out as top performers in the state, while others struggle with lower proficiency rates.

The district faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism at 34.7% and socioeconomic disparities that appear to impact student achievement. Schools with higher free and reduced-price lunch rates, such as Maiden Choice School and Crossroads Center, tend to have lower academic performance. However, the district's specialized and magnet schools, like George W. Carver Center for Arts & Technology, consistently rank among the top performers, suggesting the benefits of targeted educational programs.

Overall, the Baltimore County Public Schools district exhibits a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant disparities in resources and student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of these performance gaps, particularly around equity and access to quality education, will be crucial for the district to improve outcomes for all students.
