Summary

Allenwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in Temple Hills, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 333 students. The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allenwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 627 and 802 out of 855-865 schools over the past several years. The school has received a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating poor performance compared to other schools in the state. This is largely due to the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 31.5% to 39.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Allenwood Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the MCAP assessments, is consistently well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

While Allenwood Elementary is performing poorly compared to the state, it is generally on par with or slightly outperforming other nearby elementary schools in the Prince George's County Public Schools district, such as James Ryder Randall Elementary and Princeton Elementary, which have similar academic performance and ranking profiles. The school has also seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $16,862 in the 2020-2021 school year to $24,224 in the 2023-2024 school year, but this increased funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.

Bullies run the school and nothing is done about it. Learning and focus is place heavily on passing state exams while students that need extra learning resources are ignored and passed through the system. Every parent I know has opted to remove their child or children from this school and I'm now weighing out other school options for my children. Close Quote
