Summary

Chesapeake High is a public magnet high school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 1,028 students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland high schools over the past decade, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Baltimore County and Maryland averages.

Chesapeake High faces several challenges, including a 4-year graduation rate slightly below the state average, a relatively high dropout rate, and concerning rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28% to 58.3% in recent years. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 50% to 65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite its higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, Chesapeake High's academic performance lags behind that of nearby magnet schools, such as Eastern Technical High School and Sparrows Point High, which consistently outperform Chesapeake High and the state averages on standardized assessments.

The data suggests that Chesapeake High requires focused attention and support to address its academic and socioeconomic challenges and improve student outcomes. Targeted interventions, such as addressing attendance issues and providing additional academic resources, may be necessary to help the school overcome its struggles and better serve its students. The comparison to nearby magnet schools highlights the potential for Chesapeake High to improve its performance, given the right strategies and resources.
