Summary

Baden Elementary is a public elementary school in Brandywine, Maryland, serving 187 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state.

Academically, Baden Elementary's performance on MCAP tests is generally higher than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, with 44.7% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 38.3% for the district and 50.8% for the state. However, the school's mathematics performance lags behind the state average, with only 22.4% of students proficient or better. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 36.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.06% to 63.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Comparing Baden Elementary to nearby schools, Mattaponi Elementary stands out with significantly higher academic performance, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. Similarly, Huntingtown Elementary and Mount Harmony Elementary, both in the Calvert County Public Schools district, demonstrate consistently high academic achievement. Despite these challenges, Baden Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 14.4, may contribute to its academic performance in certain areas.
