Summary:

The Kent County Public Schools district in Maryland consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools, like Rock Hall Elementary and H.H. Garnett Elementary, consistently outperforming others, such as Kent County Middle School.

Rock Hall Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 3 out of 5 stars on SchoolDigger and boasting the highest math and English language arts proficiency rates. In contrast, Kent County High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 81 out of 127 schools in 2022-2023 to a projected 127 out of 220 schools in 2024-2025, indicating an area of concern for the district.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge, with all schools reporting a 26.0% rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as H.H. Garnett Elementary and Rock Hall Elementary, tending to have the strongest academic outcomes. The district may want to focus on addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
