Summary

Woodmoor Elementary is a public school in Baltimore, MD, serving 567 students in grades PK-5 within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where about 72% of students come from low-income households. While the school has historically ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, it shows a clear upward trend, with math proficiency nearly doubling from 10.8% to 20.4% and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rising from 18.9% to 24.8% over the past few years. This improvement suggests that recent efforts are starting to pay off, even as the school faces significant challenges, particularly in ELA, where only 24.8% of students are proficient—the lowest rate among nearby schools like Bedford Elementary (53rd percentile) and Chadwick Elementary (52nd percentile).

A standout strength is Woodmoor's performance with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who ranked in the 45th percentile statewide in 2020-2021—higher than the school's overall rank. This indicates that the school may have effective programs for economically disadvantaged students, even as it works to boost achievement for all. However, chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 24.5%, though this is an improvement from 37.0% in 2021-2022 and slightly better than the district average of 25.6%. In contrast, higher-performing nearby schools like Powhatan Elementary (62nd percentile) have much lower absenteeism rates, highlighting an area for growth.

One notable finding is that Woodmoor receives significantly less funding per student ($17,072) compared to nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Powhatan Elementary ($25,071) and Winfield Elementary ($22,016). This resource gap may be a key factor in the school's challenges, though Woodmoor still outperforms Scotts Branch Elementary (15th percentile) despite spending less. The nearby Watershed Public Charter serves as a stark contrast, with a wealthier population and dramatically better outcomes, including 54.4% ELA proficiency and just 9.0% chronic absenteeism, underscoring the strong link between socioeconomic factors and academic success.
