Summary

The Green School of Baltimore is a small K-5 elementary school in the Belair-Edison neighborhood of Baltimore, serving just 162 students and standing out as a high-performing school within the Baltimore City Public Schools district.

This school is a true academic standout. In the 2025-2026 school year, its students achieved a 47.5% proficiency rate in Mathematics, which is 3.6 times higher than the district average of 13.3% and well above the state average of 27.1%. In English Language Arts, 60% of students were proficient, compared to just 32.9% district-wide. Nearby schools like Lakewood Elementary and Montebello Elementary/Middle struggle with single-digit math proficiency, while The Green School’s results rival or exceed state averages. The school also has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.0%, a fraction of the district average of 46.4% and far below the rates at nearby schools like The Belair-Edison School (over 45%). This suggests strong family-school connections and a highly engaged student body.

The Green School’s success is a remarkable turnaround story. Over the past decade, it has climbed from the 42nd percentile in state rankings to the 72nd percentile, earning a 4-star rating. While the school serves a more economically diverse population than its neighbors—with only 32.7% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch compared to over 73% at nearby schools—it has also proven highly effective with its low-income students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for that group. Notably, the school achieves these results with efficient spending of $22,523 per student, less than many lower-performing peers. One area to watch is a sharp drop in ELA proficiency from 84.6% in 3rd grade to 48.1% in 4th and 5th grades, suggesting a challenge in sustaining early literacy gains as students tackle more complex material.

I felt so fortunate to have my grandson enrolled in the Green School. I withdraw him from Catholic School when he was accepted. Green School is very much like the private schools my children and grandson have attended. You could not ask for a better environment, caring staff, and total engagement from the administrators and parents. He went camping, they often had outside activities at a nearby park and their own facility, the kids were involved with setting up their curriculum, gardening, camaraderie among fellow students was practiced as well as responsibility. It was an excellent experience. Close Quote
