Summary:
The Cecil County Public Schools district in Maryland is home to 5 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. The data reveals a diverse set of schools with varying levels of academic performance, with Rising Sun High and Perryville High standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.
Rising Sun High and Perryville High are the highest-ranked schools in the district, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and impressive proficiency rates on the MCAP English Language Arts assessments, with over 69% and 73% of students, respectively, scoring proficient or better. In contrast, Elkton High, North East High, and Bohemia Manor High have lower academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 50-60% range for English Language Arts and even lower rates in mathematics.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as the schools with the highest free and reduced-price lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency scores. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.5% to 23.5%, is a concern that may be impacting student learning and achievement across all 5 high schools. Despite these disparities, the district maintains a consistent 4-year graduation rate of 89.6% and a dropout rate of 7.0% across all schools.
