Summary

Rosaryville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 508. The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosaryville Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 31.5% to 37.3%, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages, as well as the nearby schools. Academically, Rosaryville Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are well below the state averages, at 10.8% and 29% respectively in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 26.5% and 50.8%. The school's performance is also lower than most of the nearby schools, with the exception of Waldon Woods Elementary, which has similarly low proficiency rates.

Despite the school's low performance, Rosaryville Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.9 over the past few years, which is lower than most of the nearby schools. This raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need to ensure that additional funding and staffing are being used in the most impactful ways to support student learning. The school's challenges in serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest the need for comprehensive interventions and a closer examination of the underlying factors contributing to its struggles.
