Summary

Maya Angelou French Immersion is a K-8 magnet school in Temple Hills, MD, serving 363 students within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism compared to nearby schools.

This school excels in ELA, with a proficiency rate of 54.5% that is nearly double the average of nearby elementary schools like Valley View Elementary and Glassmanor Elementary. Its chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.6% is a stark contrast to the 38.2% average of its neighbors, including J. Frank Dent Elementary and Samuel Chase Elementary, suggesting a highly engaged student body. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8:1 and high per-pupil spending, which likely supports its academic strengths. However, math proficiency is a concern, especially in middle school, where 7th and 8th graders reported 0% proficiency on state tests—a significant red flag for parents considering the school for older children.

Interestingly, Overlook Elementary, located just 1.39 miles away, shows similar strengths in ELA (53.3% proficiency) and low absenteeism (13.0%), and it serves a comparable demographic profile. This suggests that while Maya Angelou French Immersion’s unique program is a draw, its success is also tied to serving a less economically disadvantaged population than most area schools. The school struggles to support its low-income students, ranking in the bottom 8th percentile statewide for that subgroup, so families should consider how well the school’s resources align with their child’s needs.
