Better than 22% of Maryland elementary schools

Summary

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Princess Anne, Maryland, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 493 students. The school is part of the Somerset County Public Schools district, which is ranked 23 out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.7% to 49.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Princess Anne Elementary (33.5%) and the Wicomico County schools (around 25%). The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is also significantly lower than the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 14.1% of Greenwood students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 26.5% statewide and 10.1% in the Somerset County district.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and female students having the lowest proficiency rates, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Maryland elementary schools in these categories. In contrast, English Language Learner students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 40% of Maryland schools. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Greenwood Elementary School, the school's academic performance remains well below state and county averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements, and that the school may need to focus on more targeted, evidence-based strategies for improving teaching and learning.
