Summary

Overlook Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Temple Hills, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 307 students. The school 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.

Overlook Elementary consistently performs below the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.7% of Overlook students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 26.5% at the state level and 13.1% in the district. In ELA, Overlook's proficiency rate was 46.1%, which is higher than the district's 38.3% but still lower than the state's 50.8%. The school's performance in Science is also low, with only 9.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 25.6% at the state level. Additionally, Overlook Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 34.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While Overlook Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as William Beanes Elementary, Bradbury Heights Elementary, and William W. Hall Academy, the school's magnet status and relatively low student-teacher ratio have not translated into improved academic performance. The nearby magnet school, Maya Angelou French Immersion, significantly outperforms Overlook Elementary and the other nearby schools in both Mathematics and ELA. Despite increased spending per student at Overlook Elementary, from $15,728 in 2020-2021 to $21,052 in 2023-2024, the data suggests that these factors have not been sufficient to drive significant improvements in student outcomes.

My child is in the spanish immersion program. This is a great program with a staff that cares about the children and teaches them thoroughly! My child has also tested into the TAG program because of what he is being taught. Close Quote
