Summary

Windsor Hills Elementary/Middle is a small, PK-8 school in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, serving 252 students in a high-need community where over 86% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Windsor Hills stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance in upper elementary and middle school, with 6th-grade ELA proficiency at 40.6% and 8th-grade at 36%—both exceeding the district average of around 32%. This is a significant advantage over nearby schools like KIPP Harmony Academy, where 6th-grade ELA proficiency was only 16.4%, and Calvin M. Rodwell Elementary/Middle, at 21.4%. The school also shines in 4th-grade math, with a 25% proficiency rate—the highest among all nearby schools with available data, including Hilton Elementary (7.1%) and Liberty Elementary (9.4%). This is supported by a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1 and high per-student spending of $31,478, providing a structural advantage for individualized instruction.

However, the school faces a critical challenge with chronic absenteeism at 61.6%, the highest among its neighbors and far above the district average of 46.4%. This makes it difficult to build consistent academic momentum. While overall math proficiency (9%) lags far behind ELA (31.1%), the school has shown a positive trajectory, rising from the 10th percentile in state rankings in 2020-2021 to the 20th percentile in 2025-2026. These bright spots are remarkable given the absenteeism crisis, but the school still has a long road ahead to achieve stable, scalable success.
