Summary

Lewisdale Elementary in Hyattsville, MD, serves 533 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where over 91% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Despite facing challenges common to high-poverty communities, the school has carved out notable strengths, particularly in 5th-grade science, where 26.9% of students achieved proficiency—significantly higher than the district average of 19.6% and surpassing nearly every nearby school, including University Park Elementary at 27.7% and Ridgecrest Elementary at 15.7%. This science success is a clear differentiator, suggesting effective instruction in that subject area.

Another bright spot is math performance in upper grades, which bucks the district trend. While many schools see math proficiency decline by 5th grade, Lewisdale’s proficiency actually rises from 12% in 3rd grade to 19.2% in 5th grade, compared to the district’s drop from 25.8% to 14%. This upward trajectory indicates that math instruction may be particularly effective in later elementary years. Additionally, the school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 29.6% is lower than the district average of 30.2% and far better than nearby Edward M. Felegy Elementary School at 42.4%, showing stronger efforts to keep students in class.

However, literacy remains a critical area for improvement, with only 25.4% of students proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), well below the district average of 38.9% and lower than Mary Harris Mother Jones Elementary at 33%. The school spends $21,105 per student—more than top-performing neighbors like Cesar Chavez Elementary at $18,842—likely funding smaller class sizes (11.7:1 student-teacher ratio) and support services. While overall state ranking remains in the bottom third, it has improved from the 15th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026, a positive trend not shared by all nearby schools, such as Cool Spring Elementary and Rosa L. Parks Elementary, which have declined.
