Summary

Carrollton Elementary is a public elementary school in New Carrollton, Maryland, serving 591 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state.

Carrollton Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.1% of Carrollton students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 26.5% statewide and 13.1% in the district. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates also lag behind state and district averages. Carrollton Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.8% to 34.8% over the past few years, much higher than the state and district.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Seabrook Elementary, Gaywood Elementary, and Legends Public Charter School generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, despite having a similar student demographic profile. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Carrollton's underperformance, and the school may benefit from a comprehensive review of its educational practices and support systems.
