Summary

Stadium School is a middle school in Baltimore, MD, serving 259 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Baltimore City Public Schools district, where over 86% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Stadium School is facing a serious crisis, with academic performance that is critically low even compared to other schools in the same district. In the most recent school year, only 1% of students were proficient in math and just 9.4% were proficient in English Language Arts—far below the district averages of 13.3% and 32.9%, respectively. The school also has a catastrophic chronic absenteeism rate of 59.9%, meaning nearly 6 out of 10 students miss significant amounts of school. This is dramatically higher than nearby The Crossroads School, which has a similar student population but a chronic absenteeism rate of only 19.8% and far better test scores (45% proficient in ELA and 13.1% in math). Despite spending over $30,000 per student—nearly double what high-performing Dumbarton Middle in Baltimore County Public Schools spends—Stadium School has not seen results, pointing to deep-rooted challenges in student engagement and instruction.

There is a small glimmer of hope: ELA proficiency has shown a slight upward trend, from 6% in 2022-2023 to 11.7% in 2024-2025, and 8th graders perform better than 6th graders, suggesting some progress as students move through the school. However, the core problem remains the extreme absenteeism, which makes it nearly impossible for any teaching to be effective. For parents considering this school, the most important takeaway is that any meaningful improvement must start with a comprehensive effort to get students back in the classroom every day.
