Summary

Eleanor Roosevelt High in Greenbelt, MD, is a large, comprehensive high school serving over 2,500 students in grades 9-12 within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a clear academic leader in the area.

This school's most impressive strength is its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 66.3% of students meeting standards—far exceeding the district average of 38.9% and the state average of 51.7%. This is nearly double the rate of nearby Charles Herbert Flowers High (62.5%) and more than double that of schools like Parkdale High (35.5%) and Duval High (40.3%). The school also boasts a high graduation rate of 88.7%, significantly better than the district average of 78.9% and dramatically higher than schools like High Point High (63.0%) and Bladensburg High (68.3%). Its low dropout rate of 8.5% is nearly half the district average of 15.9%.

While Eleanor Roosevelt excels in literacy, math proficiency is a notable challenge, with only 11.8% of students proficient compared to the state average of 27.1%. However, the school's performance across diverse student groups is exceptional, having ranked 1st in the state for Asian and Multi-racial students and 3rd for Hispanic and low-income students in recent years. Even its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, while high, is much better than the district average of 30.2% and far lower than neighbors like Fairmont Heights High (46.3%) and High Point (49.2%). Overall, Eleanor Roosevelt is a high-performing school that effectively supports a diverse student body, though it continues working to improve math outcomes.
