Summary

Accokeek Academy is a K-8 school in Accokeek, MD, serving 1,445 students as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. This school stands out as a high-performing option in its area, consistently earning a 3-star rating from Schooldigger over the past decade, placing it in the 55th to 63rd percentile statewide. Notably, it achieves these results while spending less per student ($17,059) than many nearby schools, such as Clinton Grove Elementary ($21,744) and Indian Queen Elementary ($22,979), making it a cost-effective success story within the district.

Academically, Accokeek Academy excels in English Language Arts (ELA), with a 61.1% proficiency rate that significantly outperforms the district average (38.9%), the state average (51.7%), and every nearby comparison school. For example, its ELA scores are higher than the top-performing Charles County school in the area, Berry Elementary (51.8%). The school also achieves extraordinary results in Algebra I, with a 95.7% proficiency rate that dwarfs the district average of 11.1% and the state average of 21.3%. However, general math proficiency (30.5%) is only slightly above the state average (27.1%), highlighting a clear area for improvement. The contrast is especially stark when compared to Colin L. Powell Academy, a nearby K-8 school just 2.86 miles away, where Accokeek outperforms it in every subject and grade level—often by a factor of two or more (e.g., 30.5% vs. 8.7% in math, 61.1% vs. 35.9% in ELA).

Accokeek Academy also demonstrates strong outcomes for specific student groups, ranking in the 86th and 89th percentiles statewide for African American students and those from low socio-economic backgrounds in the 2020-2021 school year, showing a commitment to closing achievement gaps. Additionally, its chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is lower than the district average of 30.2%, indicating better student attendance. While the school's math curriculum for the general student body may need attention, its overall performance is competitive with the best schools in neighboring Charles County Public Schools, such as C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School (40.2% math proficiency), making it a strong regional choice for families.

to many fights. NOT SAFE FOR YOUR CHILD. Close Quote

The worse experience ever. The teachers lie and cannot be trusted. Please do not take this lightly. Absolutely, no accountability at all. The principal is absent most of the time. She dictates and delegates conflict to her VP pawns. No leadership, they do what they want and their scores prove it. Just because it’s a new school further out in the suburbs does not make the teacher quality any better. If you have to choose a PGCPS, try your hardest in the lottery Close Quote

Teachers are hands on with the students. Very organized school. Great school. Close Quote

The school overall all is good. The principal is in over her head. She lacks the leadership skills required to run a K-8th school of this magnitude. She is never around and does not make herself available to the students or their parents. She is not engaging at all. More importantly, her staff turnover rate is too high. (This includes teachers, counselors, and custodians.) Substitute teachers have become the norm. Lastly, no afterschool academic programs such as math or science clubs. These programs should be standard for a TAG school. I guess this is one of the reasons she may lose the TAG school status. What a shame. Close Quote

I love Accokeek Academy. I have a child in the middle school upper campus building. Most of her teachers are outstanding. I do have a concern with one teacher that is inconsistent with grading. The only other concern that I have is with the office staff, particularly one secretary that is rude and ignores me when I walk in. The administration and guidance counselors are wonderful. I would highly recommend Accokeek Academy. And by the way the new building will be up soon and I can't wait. Close Quote

I hope it is better than back in 2000 when I was a student at Henry G. Ferguson Elementary; my experiences during my time there are some of the worst memories in my entire life. Close Quote

My children are in the First Grade and Pre-K at Accokeek Academy. The teachers are very dedicated to the education of the students. My only complaint is the staff in the front office at the school. They are so rude and unprofessional. Sometimes, they do not acknowledge the parents and if they do, it is with much attitude!! Close Quote
