Summary

Cooper Lane Elementary in Landover Hills, MD, is a small PK-5 school within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, serving 407 students in a community with very high economic need, where over 93% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

While the school faces significant academic challenges and has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools, it shows a notable strength in mathematics, with proficiency rates (14.3%) slightly above the district average and the second-highest among nearby schools, trailing only the high-performing Glenarden Woods Elementary. This is a bright spot, especially since most other nearby schools like Bladensburg Elementary and Port Towns Elementary fall below the district average in math. However, English Language Arts proficiency (26.7%) remains significantly below the district average (38.9%), suggesting a specific instructional challenge in literacy. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1, which is smaller than the district average and many nearby schools, providing a potential foundation for improvement.

One of the most impressive findings is that Cooper Lane ranks in the 79th percentile statewide for serving its low socio-economic status students, earning a 4-star rating in this area. This indicates the school is more effective at supporting its economically disadvantaged students than 79% of Maryland schools, even if overall test scores are low. Chronic absenteeism is a challenge at 33.4%, though this is lower than several nearby schools like Bladensburg Elementary (44.5%) and Port Towns Elementary (43.0%). The stark contrast with Glenarden Woods Elementary, located just 1.68 miles away and a top-2 school in the state, highlights how profoundly student demographics and school selectivity can impact rankings, even within the same district and geographic area.
