Summary

North Glen Elementary in Glen Burnie, MD, is a small Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 278 students within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, where over 81% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools over the past decade, currently sitting at the 11th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, with academic proficiency rates in both Mathematics (9.9%) and English Language Arts (23.7%) dramatically lower than district averages (29.3% and 55.9%, respectively).

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent and severe challenge at North Glen, with a rate of 26.3% in 2024-2025 that has remained above 25% for the last five years, peaking at 33.3% in 2022-2023. This rate is higher than the district average (19.9%) and most nearby schools, including Linthicum Elementary (22.2%), Overlook Elementary (19.8%), and Glendale Elementary (21.9%). Only Park Elementary (28.7%) and Brooklyn Park Elementary (27.2%) have higher rates. Despite spending $22,214 per student in 2023-2024—higher than Monarch Academy ($18,958) and Richard Henry Lee Elementary ($17,938)—the school achieves the lowest academic outcomes in its area, suggesting resources are not translating into gains due to compounding effects of poverty and absenteeism.

A notable bright spot is that in 2020-2021, North Glen ranked in the 59th percentile for serving its low-socioeconomic status students, earning a 3-star rating, which is significantly higher than its overall rank. However, a direct comparison with Hilltop Elementary, located just 0.62 miles away with a nearly identical poverty rate (81.38% FRL), reveals a performance gap: Hilltop achieves 19.5% proficiency in Math and 32.3% in ELA versus North Glen’s 9.9% and 23.7%. This indicates that school-specific factors like leadership and instructional strategies play a significant role, and the school needs a multi-pronged approach to tackle chronic absenteeism while learning from nearby schools that achieve better outcomes with similar demographics.
