Summary

Oxon Hill Elementary is a small, Title I school in Oxon Hill, MD, serving 215 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. The school stands out for its exceptionally high per-student spending of $28,028 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.4:1, both of which are the most favorable among nearby schools like Apple Grove Elementary ($20,943 per student) and Valley View Elementary ($20,821 per student). Despite these resources, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Maryland elementary schools for the past five years, with academic performance lagging behind district and state averages.

A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which affects 34.7% of students—higher than the district average of 30.2% and significantly more than nearby high-performing schools like Indian Queen Elementary (19.2%) and John Hanson Montessori (10.1%). This persistent issue, combined with over 94% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, suggests that socio-economic factors play a key role in the school's struggles. Interestingly, the school shares an address with John Hanson Montessori, a magnet school with vastly different outcomes—65.2% proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Oxon Hill's 35.6%—highlighting how programmatic differences can shape student experiences in the same community.

Despite overall low performance, there is a notable bright spot: 51.5% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA in the 2025-2026 school year, surpassing both the district (34.3%) and state (48.6%) averages. This success, possibly due to a strong teacher or targeted program, offers a model for improvement. Recent data also shows slight upward trends in math (11.8% proficient) and ELA (35.6% proficient) from previous years, suggesting that with sustained effort, the school can build on these gains to overcome the challenges of poverty and absenteeism.
