Summary

Edmondson Heights Elementary is a PK-5 school in Baltimore, MD, serving 556 students within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it is a low-performing school that has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools over the past decade.

The most positive story at Edmondson Heights is a dramatic turnaround in attendance. Chronic absenteeism has been cut by more than half, from a staggering 51.1% in 2021-2022 to 22.1% in 2024-2025, which is now actually lower than the district average of 25.6%. However, this improvement has not yet translated into higher test scores. Math proficiency has remained flat between 12.4% and 17.9% over the last four years, and ELA proficiency has stayed in the 19-29% range. This suggests that while getting students to school was a necessary first step, the school now needs to focus on the quality of instruction to turn better attendance into academic gains. The school serves a high-poverty population, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Edmondson Heights sits on a sharp academic dividing line. It is the lowest-performing school among its Baltimore County peers, with overall math proficiency (16.1%) and ELA proficiency (29.3%) significantly below the district averages. In contrast, Catonsville Elementary, just 2 miles away, achieves nearly triple the proficiency rates. Yet, when compared to nearby Baltimore City Public Schools like Beechfield Elementary/Middle or Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle, Edmondson Heights significantly outperforms them in nearly every subject, despite having a similar percentage of students from low-income families. This highlights the impact of district-level resources, as Edmondson Heights spends the least per student ($17,065) among its Baltimore County peers, while the Baltimore City schools spend significantly more but achieve far lower results.
