Summary

Langley Park-McCormick Elementary in Hyattsville, MD, is a public school serving 697 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's most remarkable strength is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.1%, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 30.2% and far below nearby schools like Cherokee Lane Elementary (25.7%) and Lewisdale Elementary (29.6%). This suggests a highly effective school culture and family engagement strategy that ensures students are consistently in class, a critical foundation for learning.

While overall test scores remain low, the school shows a notable relative strength in math proficiency, with 14% of students meeting standards in 2025-2026—slightly above the district average of 13.7% and competitive with several nearby schools. However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency tells a different story, with only 16.4% of students meeting standards compared to the district average of 38.9%, a gap of 22.5 percentage points that is the largest among its Prince George's County peers. The school benefits from high spending per student ($21,114) and a low student-teacher ratio (13.1), but these resources have not yet translated into high academic outcomes, highlighting the depth of challenges the student population faces.

Encouragingly, the school's state ranking has shown a clear upward trajectory for two consecutive years, moving from the 2nd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 8th percentile in 2025-2026, reversing a multi-year decline. When compared to nearby Montgomery County Public Schools like Oak View Elementary (66th percentile), which serve a less disadvantaged population, the contrast is stark. Langley Park-McCormick's primary challenge is not a lack of resources or effort, but the immense difficulty of overcoming the effects of concentrated poverty on academic readiness, making its strong attendance record a vital first step toward improvement.
