Summary

Windsor Mill Middle is a public school in Baltimore, MD, serving 606 students in grades 6-8, with 61% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and it is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district.

Over the past decade, Windsor Mill Middle has shown a clear and positive trajectory, moving from a 1-star rating to a consistent 2-star rating in the 34th percentile over the last three years. This indicates sustained improvement and stability. The school's strongest performance is in English Language Arts (ELA), where its proficiency rate of 39.7% is the highest among similar nearby schools like Southwest Academy, Pikesville Middle, Woodlawn Middle, and Northwest Academy of Health Sciences. Additionally, the school excels in advanced math courses, with proficiency in Algebra I (18.6%) and Geometry (20.9%) far exceeding district averages and competitive with higher-performing schools like Catonsville Middle. This is a stark contrast to its low overall math proficiency (10.6%), suggesting the school is highly effective at identifying and accelerating a select group of students into advanced coursework.

Windsor Mill Middle also stands out for its low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.6%, which is significantly better than its nearby peers with similar state rankings, such as Pikesville Middle (40.8%) and Woodlawn Middle (37.9%). This suggests a more effective school culture for getting students to attend class regularly. However, the school faces a significant achievement gap when compared to schools in the more affluent Howard County Public Schools district, such as Patapsco Middle and Dunloggin Middle, which have math and ELA proficiency rates 2 to 5 times higher despite similar per-student spending. This highlights that factors beyond funding, such as community wealth and parental education levels, play a massive role in student outcomes. Overall, Windsor Mill Middle is a school in transition, with strengths in improving attendance, relative strength in ELA, and advanced math pathways, but its greatest challenge is to translate that success to the majority of students who are not yet proficient in math.

This is my sons first year. As a parent I take pride in monitoring and communications with my child’s teachers, in order for them to be them to be the best version of themselves academically. Teachers seem to be there for a paycheck. They do not communicate with parents. Seem to focus more on problem children than they do children trying to learn. I get that those children need help to but there should be some balance. The principle is very poor at communicating as well. Close Quote
