Better than 17% of Maryland elementary schools

Summary

Moravia Park Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, serving 655 students in a high-poverty area where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has shown signs of improvement, moving from the bottom 5% to the 17th percentile of Maryland elementary schools in recent years, though it still faces significant academic challenges.

One of the most notable features of Moravia Park is its high per-pupil spending of $28,869, which is significantly more than nearby schools like McCormick Elementary ($23,623) and Red House Run Elementary ($20,094) in Baltimore County Public Schools. Despite this investment, academic outcomes remain low compared to these county peers. However, there is a bright spot: 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency reached 33%, outperforming the district average of 25.6% and several nearby city schools like Baltimore International Academy (23.3%) and Hazelwood Elementary/Middle (20.3%). On the other hand, 5th-grade math proficiency dropped sharply to just 6.7%, the lowest among nearby schools and roughly half the district average of 12.7%.

Chronic absenteeism at Moravia Park is 36.8%, which is high but notably the lowest among high-poverty Baltimore City schools in the area, better than Sinclair Lane Elementary (47.9%) and The Belair-Edison School (66.8%). A striking comparison is with The Green School of Baltimore, just 1.69 miles away, which serves a much lower-poverty population (32.7% free/reduced lunch) and achieves dramatically higher proficiency rates (60% in ELA, 47.5% in math) with only 8% chronic absenteeism. This contrast highlights how socioeconomic factors and school culture can create vastly different outcomes within the same district.
