Summary

Oxon Hill Middle in Fort Washington, MD, is a public school serving 773 students in grades 6-8 within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where a very high percentage of families (94.31%) qualify for free and reduced lunch.

The most notable finding is that Oxon Hill Middle excels at supporting its students facing economic challenges, ranking in the 69th percentile statewide for effectiveness with low socio-economic status students—a stark contrast to its overall 1-star rating. This suggests the school has strong programs and a supportive culture for these students. However, the school faces significant hurdles, particularly in math, where only 7.4% of students were proficient in the latest school year, compared to 27.1% statewide. This is a critical area needing improvement. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from a peak of 56.6% to 27.9%, now below the district average of 30.2%, showing a strong recovery trend. The school also invests heavily, spending $19,366 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, the lowest among nearby schools like Theodore G. Davis Middle School ($15,169 per student) and James Madison Middle ($17,099 per student).

Compared to nearby schools in Charles County Public Schools, such as Matthew Henson Middle School and Mattawoman Middle School, Oxon Hill Middle's academic performance is lower, but this gap is closely tied to the higher level of economic need in its community. The school's overall state ranking has improved from the 15th percentile to the 27th percentile over recent years, indicating positive momentum. While the road ahead is long, especially in math, the school is making strategic progress in stabilizing attendance and supporting its most vulnerable students.

OHMS has multiple language programs, an Amazing Science program that is integrated into all aspects of learning. The writing program incorporates topics related to science and STEM. The school teaches Racial Equity and Social justice as well as current issues and topics. The History program tells both sides of the story , incorporates US and Global historical issues. OHMS has a Junior Honor Society , sports, Art programs , music and more. My child feels safe and connected at school. We are happy with the school and administration. When issues can't be resolved at the school level I have had success sending my concerns to the PGCPS Board of Education. Close Quote
