Summary

Cooper Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Landover Hills, Maryland, serving 471 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Cooper Lane Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.12% to 88% over the past few years. However, the school performs relatively better for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds. Despite these challenges, Cooper Lane Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,494 to $19,905 over the past few years, suggesting that the school is receiving additional resources to support its students.

When comparing Cooper Lane Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes evident that the school is performing significantly worse than its peers. For example, Glenarden Woods Elementary, a magnet school just 1.68 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 1% of Maryland elementary schools and outperforms Cooper Lane Elementary by a wide margin in test scores and other metrics. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the high percentage of students from low-income families at Cooper Lane Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance, and targeted interventions and additional support could potentially lead to improvements in the school's overall performance and student outcomes.
