Summary

Clay Hill Public Charter School is an elementary school (K-6) in Baltimore, MD, serving 335 students within the Baltimore City Public Schools district, where 60.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school’s most remarkable achievement is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which has fallen from 44.2% to just 17.9% over three years—a rate less than half that of nearby Commodore John Rodgers Elementary/Middle (34.3%) and far below the district average of 46.4%. Academically, Clay Hill shows a "jagged" profile: it performs relatively well in English Language Arts (34.1% proficient, above the district average of 32.9%), with 6th graders achieving 50% proficiency and 7th graders reaching 55%—matching state averages. However, math proficiency is critically low at 13.4%, with a steep decline from 29.2% in 3rd grade to just 2.2% in 5th grade. This contrasts sharply with the nearby Armistead Gardens Elementary/Middle, which outperforms Clay Hill in both math (25.4%) and ELA (44.7%) despite having a higher rate of economic disadvantage (74% free/reduced lunch).

Despite spending a significant $25,039 per student—higher than most nearby peers like Graceland Park/O'Donnell Heights Elementary/Middle ($20,150) and Highlandtown Elementary/Middle #237 ($19,728)—this investment does not translate into top-tier outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation. The school’s strong upper-grade ELA performance and exceptional attendance improvement suggest effective interventions, but the math struggles point to a systemic issue needing urgent attention, especially in upper elementary grades.
