Summary

Dodge Park Elementary is a PK-5 school in Landover, MD, serving 494 students within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where over 93% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch, reflecting very high economic need.

While Dodge Park has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Maryland elementary schools, it shows notable strengths in serving specific student groups. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school ranked in the 69th percentile for Hispanic students and the 66th percentile for low-socioeconomic status students—a stark contrast to its overall ranking that year. However, there is a significant gender achievement gap, with female students ranking in the 49th percentile compared to male students at the 21st percentile. The school spends $21,449 per student, higher than many nearby schools, yet academic outcomes remain low, with math proficiency at just 11.1% and ELA at 25.3%. Chronic absenteeism has improved to 28.1%, now below the district average of 30.2%, and the school's state ranking has shown a modest upward trend over the last three years.

One of the most striking contrasts is with Glenarden Woods Elementary, located just 0.46 miles away and ranked #1 in Maryland. Glenarden Woods has a 47% free/reduced lunch rate, 8.2% chronic absenteeism, and over 83% proficiency in math and 91% in ELA. This proximity highlights that Dodge Park's challenges are deeply tied to concentrated poverty rather than geography. Math remains the most urgent academic weakness, with all grade levels scoring below 13% proficiency, but the improving attendance and slight upward ranking trend suggest recent initiatives may be starting to have a positive impact.
