Summary

Rosaryville Elementary in Upper Marlboro, MD, is a mid-sized PK-5 school within Prince George's County Public Schools that serves 517 students in a predominantly low-income community, with over 61% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch.

Despite spending significantly more per student than nearly all nearby schools—$24,761 per student compared to $16,274 at Brandywine Elementary and $18,232 at Francis T. Evans Elementary—Rosaryville's academic performance remains among the lowest in the area. The school also maintains an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, yet this investment has not translated into strong outcomes. The most alarming trend is a severe decline in math proficiency as students progress through grades, dropping from 25% in 3rd grade to just 2.9% in 5th grade. This contrasts sharply with nearby Mattaponi Elementary, which achieves a 57.4% ELA proficiency rate and 28.7% math rate with fewer resources.

Chronic absenteeism is a major barrier, with 33.3% of students chronically absent—higher than the district average of 30.2% and significantly above Friendship Aspire Bowie Charter at 16.1%. The school has shown a glimmer of hope in science, achieving 29.2% proficiency in 5th grade during the 2022-2023 school year, though this success was not sustained. The data suggests Rosaryville needs a fundamental re-evaluation of its instructional strategies, particularly in math, and a comprehensive approach to address chronic absenteeism to better serve its students.
