Summary

Lake Arbor Elementary is a public elementary school in Mitchellville, Maryland, serving 555 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Lake Arbor Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 35.9% over the past few years, and generally lower test scores than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 17.9% of students were proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics, compared to 26.5% statewide and 13.1% in the district. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.49% to 73.39% over the past few years, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Comparing Lake Arbor Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, several interesting findings emerge. Templeton Elementary and Perrywood Elementary have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Lake Arbor Elementary, while Thomas G. Pullen, a magnet school, significantly outperforms Lake Arbor Elementary and other nearby schools in both mathematics and English language arts. The early childhood centers, such as Kenmoor Early Childhood Center and H Winship Wheatley E C C, have much lower student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, but their impact on the academic performance of students at Lake Arbor Elementary is unclear.
