Summary

Greenbelt Middle in Greenbelt, MD, serves 1,270 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, a large district that has faced challenges but where this school stands out as a strong performer.

Greenbelt Middle has shown consistent improvement over the past decade, rising from a 2-star rating to a steady 3-star rating in recent years, placing it in the middle of the pack statewide. This is a notable achievement given that 93% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school dramatically outperforms its nearby PGCPS rivals in key academic areas. For example, its overall math proficiency rate of 23% is nearly double the district average and far higher than nearby schools like Hyattsville Middle (9.5%) and Sonia Sotomayor Middle at Adelphi (2.9%). Its Algebra I program is exceptionally strong, with 73.5% of test-takers proficient, compared to a district average of just 11.1%. In English Language Arts, Greenbelt's proficiency rate of 43.3% is the highest among all nearby PGCPS schools. Remarkably, it even outperforms Francis Scott Key Middle in the wealthier Montgomery County Public Schools district, which has lower poverty but lower math (9.8%) and ELA (38.5%) proficiency rates.

Beyond academics, Greenbelt Middle has made a dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from around 30% to just 14.5%—far below the district average of 30.2% and lower than every nearby school except Thomas Johnson Middle. The school also invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending of $19,284 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1, which is lower than many neighboring schools. While the school excels overall, it faces challenges in ensuring equitable outcomes for all student groups, a key area for continued focus. For parents, Greenbelt Middle represents a school that is defying the odds, showing steady growth, and providing a strong educational foundation for its diverse student body.
