Summary

Chadwick Elementary is a mid-sized school in the Woodlawn area of Baltimore, serving 603 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Baltimore County Public Schools district.

Chadwick’s most impressive strength is its exceptional performance with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 79th percentile for this group—a standout achievement compared to its overall 51st percentile ranking. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating for ten years, offering stability in a neighborhood where nearby schools like Featherbed Lane Elementary and Woodmoor Elementary struggle with 1-star ratings. Chadwick particularly shines in mathematics, with 31.8% of students proficient compared to just 21.9% district-wide—a 10-point advantage that has held steady for three years. This math strength is unusual for a school where 72% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has also improved dramatically, dropping from 27.6% in 2021-2022 to 16.3% currently, far better than the district average of 25.6%. While Chadwick matches the 3-star rating of nearby Watershed Public Charter, it does so while serving a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

However, there are areas for concern. Science proficiency is a persistent weakness, with only 27.2% of 5th graders meeting standards—below both district and state averages. Additionally, math and reading proficiency rates decline as students move from 3rd to 5th grade, suggesting a need for more support in upper elementary grades. Despite spending $21,234 per student—the highest among nearby schools—these results haven’t translated into top-tier overall rankings or improved science scores, raising questions about resource allocation. For parents seeking a stable, reliable school that excels in math and supports disadvantaged students effectively, Chadwick is a strong option, though they should be aware of the science gap and grade-level slide.
