Summary

Woodside Elementary in Glen Burnie, MD, is a public school serving 330 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, where a very high percentage of families (83.94%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Woodside stands out for its exceptionally high investment in students, spending $30,790 per pupil in 2023-2024—73% more than the average of nearby schools like Freetown Elementary ($21,387) and Glendale Elementary ($22,694). This funding supports a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.1:1, meaning smaller class sizes. However, this high spending does not directly translate to higher test scores; for example, Freetown Elementary, which spends 30% less per student, actually outperforms Woodside in both math (27.6% vs. 25.9%) and English Language Arts (42.5% vs. 41.4%) proficiency. This suggests Woodside's resources may be heavily directed toward addressing challenges related to its high poverty rate, such as a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3% (above the district average of 19.9%).

Academically, Woodside shows a notable pattern: its 3rd graders excel in math, with 40.9% proficient—the highest rate among all nearby schools and nearly matching the district average. Yet performance drops sharply by 5th grade, where only 10.0% are proficient in math (the lowest in the area) and 14.6% in science. This decline is more pronounced at Woodside than at any peer school, indicating a need for targeted support in upper elementary grades. On a positive note, the school has shown relative strength in serving its Hispanic students, ranking in the 51st percentile statewide, which may offer valuable insights for improving outcomes across all student groups.
