Summary

Nottingham Middle in Rosedale, MD, is a large school serving 1,279 students in grades 6-8 within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where it has a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom quarter of Maryland middle schools. Despite serving a more economically advantaged community—with only 26.51% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, far lower than nearby schools like Middle River Middle (66.06%) and Stemmers Run Middle (70.16%)—the school significantly underperforms academically compared to what its demographics would predict.

Nottingham's test scores are alarmingly low, especially in math, where overall proficiency is just 6.2%, with 7th-grade math at a mere 0.8% and 8th-grade math at 2.1%. This math crisis is a key concern, as students appear to fall further behind as they progress through the grades. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is a relative bright spot at 35.7%, but still well below state averages. The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 17.2:1, the highest among its peers, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 32.5%, which is significantly above the district average of 25.6% and likely a major factor in the low achievement.

For context, just 2.73 miles away, Perry Hall Middle serves a slightly less affluent population (36.6% free/reduced lunch) but achieves dramatically better results, with 64.3% ELA proficiency and 27% math proficiency. This stark contrast highlights that high performance is possible in the same district and area, making Nottingham's struggles more pronounced. Parents considering Nottingham should be aware of the severe math challenges, high absenteeism, and large class sizes, and may want to explore how the school plans to address these issues.
