Summary

Robert Frost Elementary in Landover, MD, is a K-5 school serving 257 students within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where nearly all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile among Maryland elementary schools, but it stands out for its strong math performance, especially in 3rd grade, where 38.6% of students are proficient—well above the district average of 25.8% and higher than nearby schools like Ardmore Elementary (34.7%) and William Paca Elementary (28.9%). However, this strength drops sharply in 4th grade, with proficiency falling to 14.3%, a much steeper decline than the district average, suggesting a challenge in transitioning to more complex concepts.

Despite high poverty rates, Robert Frost has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 24.4%, compared to the district average of 30.2% and much lower than nearby schools like Templeton Elementary (34.3%) and Judge Sylvania W. Woods Senior Elementary (37.2%). This indicates the school is effective at getting students to class, a key foundation for learning. The school also spends a high amount per student ($24,939), the highest among nearby schools, yet results are mixed—math proficiency (25.9%) nearly doubles the district average (13.7%), but English Language Arts proficiency (32.4%) lags behind the district (38.9%).

An interesting contrast is the proximity to Glenarden Woods Elementary, a magnet school just 1.15 miles away that ranks #2 in the state with much higher test scores, highlighting how educational outcomes can vary dramatically within the same neighborhood. Historically, Robert Frost has shown a strength in serving low-income students, ranking in the 68th percentile for that subgroup in 2020-2021, suggesting it can be particularly effective for these students. Overall, the school offers a solid math foundation in early grades and good attendance, but families should be aware of the uneven performance across subjects and grade levels.
