Summary

Pimlico Elementary/Middle is a public school in the Baltimore City Public Schools district serving 732 students from Pre-K through 8th grade in a high-poverty community where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Pimlico Elementary/Middle faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of Maryland elementary schools for the past decade. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 69.2% is nearly 23 percentage points higher than the district average and dramatically exceeds rates at nearby schools like Roland Park Elementary/Middle (15.4%) and The Mount Washington School (25.4%). Academic proficiency is critically low, with only 7.6% of students proficient in math—roughly half the district average and a fraction of the state average. This is the lowest math proficiency rate among nearby schools, including Liberty Elementary (16.7%) and Arlington Elementary (17th percentile). Despite spending $28,032 per student—significantly more than high-performing neighbors like Medfield Heights Elementary ($19,774) and Roland Park ($16,989)—the school struggles to translate resources into results.

There are two notable bright spots. First, English Language Arts proficiency has shown a positive trend, rising from 8.8% to 25.1% over three years. Second, 8th-grade math proficiency stands at 15.6%, which is more than double the district average (6.3%) and higher than the state average (9.6%)—a remarkable anomaly that suggests effective instruction or interventions at that grade level. This success, combined with the ELA improvement, indicates that targeted efforts can yield results even in a challenging environment. Understanding what works in 8th-grade math could provide a blueprint for improving math instruction in lower grades at Pimlico and similar schools like Park Heights Academy and Callaway Elementary.
