Summary

Oakwood Elementary is a small PK-5 school in Glen Burnie, MD, serving 309 students as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it has faced significant challenges since the pandemic, settling into a consistent 2-star rating and ranking in the 42nd percentile statewide. The school serves a high-needs population, with 74.1% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, but it maintains a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 and spends $19,775 per student, which is higher than the district average.

One of the most pressing issues at Oakwood is chronic absenteeism, which has been persistently above average. In 2024-2025, the rate was 22.8%, significantly higher than the district average of 19.9% and notably higher than nearby Quarterfield Elementary (19.6%). However, Oakwood showed a positive trajectory in Math proficiency, rising from 23% to 24.8% year-over-year, which is a stronger bounce back than seen at Glendale Elementary (19.7%) or Point Pleasant Elementary (16.8%). In English Language Arts (ELA), Oakwood's proficiency rate of 41.1% is the highest among its immediate neighbors, though it still lags behind the district (55.9%) and state (51.7%) averages.

A critical weakness is 5th-grade Science, where Oakwood's proficiency rate of 26.1% is the lowest among its peers and has hovered in the low 20s for three years. Interestingly, the data reveals that high spending does not guarantee high performance; Woodside Elementary spends $30,790 per student but ranks in the 39th percentile, while Quarterfield Elementary spends less ($18,632) and ranks higher (54th percentile). Oakwood is not failing in isolation—it is part of a broader cluster of schools in Glen Burnie all grappling with similar socioeconomic hurdles, and its relatively stable performance can be seen as a sign of resilience in this context.

Saturday, March 13, 2010

Both of my children are attending this nice little elementary school during the 2009-2010 school year. The principal, support staff, and most of the teachers are genuinely concerned about the success of the students. As with most schools in Maryland, there is too much emphasis on the MSA tests in the spring. Close Quote
