Summary

The Green School of Baltimore is a public charter elementary school serving 163 students in grades K-8 in Baltimore, Maryland. While the Baltimore City Public Schools district is ranked 24th out of 25 districts in the state with an overall 0-star rating, The Green School of Baltimore has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating it is performing better than the district average.

The Green School of Baltimore consistently outperforms the Baltimore City Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 34.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 12.6% for the district and 26.5% for the state.

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
