Summary:

John Ruhrah Elementary/Middle is a public school in Baltimore, Maryland that serves 930 students in grades PK-8. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (87.74%) and is part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, which is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $15,163 to $16,840 over the past few years, John Ruhrah Elementary/Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Maryland elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the Baltimore City and Maryland state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 5.8% of students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 10.2% for Baltimore City and 24.1% for Maryland. In MCAP English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 15.6%, compared to 27.7% for Baltimore City and 48.4% for Maryland.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Patterson Park Public Charter School, Hampstead Hill Academy, and Armistead Gardens Elementary/Middle, generally outperform John Ruhrah Elementary/Middle in academic proficiency, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, and a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improving educational outcomes in this area of Baltimore is needed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
