Summary

Glen Burnie Park Elementary is a public school in Glen Burnie, MD, serving 555 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, where over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a predominantly low-income community.

This school faces significant challenges, particularly in math, where only 19.7% of students are proficient—the lowest rate among all 10 nearby schools and well below the district average of 29.3%. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with 24.5% of students missing too much school, the second-highest rate in the area after Freetown Elementary. However, there is a bright spot: by 5th grade, 46.5% of students are proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), matching the state average and ranking highest among nearby schools for that grade and subject. This creates a stark contrast—a 21.9 percentage point gap between ELA and math performance, the largest divide in the area.

Interestingly, the school spends $20,031 per student, higher than the district average, yet this investment doesn't translate into top results. For comparison, Severn Elementary, just 2.9 miles away, spends less ($17,044) but achieves far higher scores in both math (35.8%) and ELA (60.2%), highlighting how socioeconomic factors like poverty and attendance strongly influence outcomes. While Glen Burnie Park’s overall state ranking has fluctuated between the 36th and 48th percentiles over the past decade, its success in 5th-grade ELA suggests effective strategies that could be expanded to other subjects, especially math and science, where scores remain volatile and below average.
