Summary

Pine Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 475 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district.

Pine Grove Elementary consistently outperforms the Baltimore County Public Schools and Maryland state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Pine Grove's proficiency rates are projected to be 41.8% in Mathematics and 49.5% in ELA, compared to 20.7% and 45% for the district, and 26.5% and 50.8% for the state, respectively. The school's strongest performance is in 3rd and 4th grade ELA, where proficiency rates are projected to be around 58% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Pine Grove Elementary has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 22.4% to 34.7% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

While Pine Grove Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, including Pleasant Plains Elementary, Harford Hills Elementary, and Carney Elementary, the high-performing Cromwell Valley Elementary Regional Magnet School significantly outpaces Pine Grove's academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Pine Grove Elementary has a significant population of low socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 42.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, yet the school's academic performance remains strong.
