Summary

Lamont Elementary in New Carrollton, MD, serves 460 students in grades PK-5 within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, operating in a high-poverty area where over 92% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. The school has shown a positive trajectory, improving from the 24th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 32nd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating for the first time in several years.

Lamont stands out for its superior mathematics performance, with 18.1% of students proficient in math, significantly outperforming the district average of 13.7% and most nearby schools like Woodridge Elementary (9.1%) and Carrollton Elementary (11.7%). The school also excels in supporting low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the 50th percentile for this subgroup in 2020-2021, placing it in the top half of all Maryland schools. Additionally, Lamont invests significantly more per student at $23,372, compared to peers like Glenridge Elementary ($19,368) and Berwyn Heights Elementary ($19,760). Chronic absenteeism is lower than the district average at 26.2% versus 30.2%, providing a more stable learning environment.

However, Lamont presents a mixed picture in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency at 34.7% lags behind the district average of 38.9% and schools like Beacon Heights Elementary (41.1%). A notable "5th grade bounce" sees 5th graders outperforming the district in ELA (43.1% vs. 35.5%), suggesting effective upper-grade instruction. While Lamont outperforms demographically similar peers like Magnolia Elementary and James McHenry Elementary, it remains in the bottom third of the state, highlighting the need for continued investment to close gaps with higher-performing schools like Seabrook Elementary.
