Summary

Georgetown East Elementary in Annapolis, MD, is a small school serving 330 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a high-poverty area, where 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Georgetown East consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of all elementary schools in Maryland, a trend that has persisted for over a decade. Its academic performance is critically low compared to nearby schools. For example, in mathematics, only 6.1% of Georgetown East students are proficient, while Hillsmere Elementary achieves 54.9% proficiency and West Annapolis Elementary reaches 61.0%. In English Language Arts, Georgetown East scores 18.1% proficient, far below the district average of 55.9% and the 84.0% proficiency at West Annapolis. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, which, though improved to 21.6%, remains above the district average and much higher than the 6.8% rate at West Annapolis.

A key paradox is that Georgetown East spends $27,181 per student—significantly more than the district average and over $7,500 more than Hillsmere Elementary—yet this high spending has not translated into better outcomes. The school's state ranking is in the 6th percentile, while nearby schools like West Annapolis (93rd percentile) and Hillsmere (84th percentile) perform in the top tiers. This suggests that the school faces deep challenges related to poverty and language acquisition, and that simply increasing funding has not been enough to overcome these obstacles. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.
