Summary

Green Street Academy is a public charter school in Baltimore, MD, serving 808 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Baltimore City Public Schools district, an area where over 84% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking feature of Green Street Academy is its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 88.1% in 2023-2024—far exceeding the district average of 70.9% and nearby schools like Carver Vocational-Technical High (72.9%) and Edmondson-Westside High (74.1%). However, this success in graduating students contrasts sharply with very low academic proficiency: only 2.6% of students are proficient in math, and 22.9% in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%. The school also stands out for having a chronic absenteeism rate of 46.3%, which is dramatically lower than nearby peers like Edmondson-Westside High (86.6%) and Vivien T. Thomas Medical Arts Academy (84.8%). Its unique 6-12 grade span allows the school to build long-term relationships with students, likely contributing to better attendance and retention.

Despite spending a significant $25,371 per student—more than the high-performing Bard High School Early College ($23,408) and Western School of Technology ($18,216)—academic outcomes remain low. There are positive trends, however: the school’s state ranking has improved from the 0th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 7th percentile in 2025-2026, and chronic absenteeism has steadily declined from 55.9% in 2020-2021. Green Street Academy excels at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, but its primary challenge is translating that strong support into meaningful academic growth, ensuring graduates are truly prepared for college or careers.
