Summary

High Point Elementary in Pasadena, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 665 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district. The school faces significant challenges, particularly with academic performance and attendance, which set it apart from many nearby schools. For instance, in English Language Arts, only 35.1% of High Point students are proficient, compared to 57.7% at Pasadena Elementary and 55.2% at Lake Shore Elementary. Math proficiency is also lower at 23.8%, while Fort Smallwood Elementary and Lake Shore Elementary both exceed 38%.

One of the most pressing issues at High Point is chronic absenteeism, with 25% of students missing significant school time—far above the district average of 19.9% and much higher than top-performing neighbors like Pasadena Elementary (12.5%) and Fort Smallwood Elementary (13.5%). This attendance crisis is closely tied to the school's academic struggles, as schools with lower absenteeism rates consistently achieve higher test scores. Additionally, High Point has a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1, meaning larger class sizes compared to peers like Point Pleasant Elementary (10.3:1) and Freetown Elementary (10.4:1), which can make individualized instruction more difficult.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. The school has shown a slight uptick in math scores recently, and its per-student spending of $16,503 is in the middle range among nearby schools, suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. A notable strength is the school's success with its Hispanic student population, which earned a 4-star rating in past years—a bright spot that could offer a model for improvement. For parents considering High Point, the key takeaway is that addressing attendance is the most critical factor for boosting student outcomes, and the school's ability to support specific groups shows potential for broader progress.

I have two children attending High Point. School is what the parents make it for their children no matter what school the child attends. I have really liked my children's teachers. My children need to be pushed a bit to challenge themselves and the teachers caught on to that quickly. The principal is very visible in the school and he is quick to resolve any problems.
