Summary

Calverton Elementary is a public elementary school located in Beltsville, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 799. 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.

Calverton Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 654 and 790 out of 855-865 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is significantly below the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 6.3% to 18.4% across grade levels, compared to the state's 30.7% to 42% proficiency. In English Language Arts, Calverton's proficiency rates are also below the district and state, ranging from 13.1% to 33.1% across grade levels, compared to the state's 45% to 50% proficiency. Additionally, Calverton Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 36.5% over the past 4 school years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Calverton Elementary's performance is consistently lower than the nearby Vansville Elementary and Beltsville Academy, as well as the schools in the neighboring Montgomery County district, such as Fairland Elementary and William Tyler Page Elementary, which demonstrate much higher academic achievement. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the large proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Calverton Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, despite the relatively high per-student spending.
