Summary

Rogers Heights Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bladensburg, Maryland, serving 633 students in grades PK-6. 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.

Rogers Heights Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a ranking between 595 and 794 out of around 850-865 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Key areas of concern include high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average test scores in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to nearby schools, Hyattsville Elementary, which is just 1.73 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in both Mathematics and ELA. Other nearby schools, such as Beacon Heights Elementary and Woodridge Elementary, also outperform Rogers Heights Elementary in academic achievement. The school's close proximity to another low-performing school, Port Towns Elementary, suggests that the Bladensburg area may face significant educational challenges that need to be addressed.
