Summary

Imagine Foundations at Leeland PCS is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. With 485 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools in academic performance, though it performs better in English Language Arts than in mathematics.

Imagine Foundations at Leeland PCS struggles with mathematics proficiency, with only 11.9% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to 26.5% statewide. However, the school performs better in English Language Arts, with 54.6% of students proficient or better, above the state average of 50.8%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 34.8% in recent years, significantly higher than state and district averages.

While the school serves a relatively high-poverty student population, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, it spends more per student ($22,675 in 2023-2024) and has a higher student-teacher ratio (17.9 in 2023-2024) compared to nearby schools like Arrowhead Elementary, Northview Elementary, and H Winship Wheatley E C C. Addressing chronic absenteeism and exploring more effective ways to support student learning could be key focus areas for the school to improve its academic outcomes.

Sunday, June 8, 2014

This school is horrible. Although this school prides itself on character education and developing dynamic individuals they fall short. Some of the middle school teacher's lack the necessary character to teach character education. In the last 4 years they have had four Principals. The teachers say and do whatever they feel like.
