Summary

Greenbelt Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Greenbelt, Maryland, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,242 students. It 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.

Greenbelt Middle consistently outperforms the Prince George's County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Greenbelt Middle had 22.6% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 13.1% for the district and 26.5% for the state. In ELA, Greenbelt Middle had 47.3% of students proficient or better, compared to 38.3% for the district and 50.8% for the state. However, the school's performance is significantly lower than middle schools in the neighboring Montgomery County Public Schools district, such as Francis Scott Key Middle and Eastern Middle, particularly in Mathematics.

Greenbelt Middle faces challenges in addressing equity gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.5% to 34.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the significant performance gaps between Greenbelt Middle's subgroups, with Hispanic and Special Education students performing relatively poorly, suggest potential equity issues that the school and district may need to address. As a public magnet school, Greenbelt Middle may be attracting a more diverse student population, which could contribute to the observed performance differences between subgroups.
