Summary

Greenwood Elementary School in Princess Anne, MD, serves 507 students in grades 2 through 5 as part of the Somerset County Public Schools district, a community where over 82% of students face economic disadvantage. The school’s most pressing challenge is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5%, which is nearly double that of nearby schools in Wicomico County Public Schools—for example, Pemberton Elementary and Glen Avenue School report rates between 13.7% and 18.6%. Even Pocomoke Elementary in Worcester County Public Schools has a lower rate at 25.3%. This attendance crisis is a primary driver of academic struggles, and it appears systemic to the Princess Anne community, as Princess Anne Elementary School (serving PK-1) shares a similar rate of 33.9%.

Academically, Greenwood shows a troubling decline in math proficiency as students advance. While 3rd graders achieve 26.8% proficiency, this drops to 13.4% in 4th grade and plummets to just 5.8% in 5th grade—a pattern far more severe than at comparable schools. For instance, Fruitland Intermediate (a higher-performing peer) posts 28.1% proficiency in 5th grade math. Overall, Greenwood’s math proficiency is critically low at 15.6%, compared to 26.4% in English Language Arts (ELA), suggesting math instruction and curriculum need targeted intervention. Despite spending over $21,000 per student—more than many higher-performing schools like Fruitland Intermediate ($18,588)—these funds are not translating into academic gains, indicating a need to reassess resource allocation.

One notable strength is Greenwood’s support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked in the 59th percentile statewide in 2020-2021, earning a 3-star rating. This contrasts sharply with the school’s overall 1-star rating and highlights effective targeted programs that could be expanded. However, the school’s challenges are compounded by a district-wide attendance issue, as Somerset County ranks 23rd out of 25 districts in Maryland. For parents, the key takeaway is that while Greenwood has a bright spot in ELL support, addressing chronic absenteeism and revamping math instruction in grades 4 and 5 are critical to improving outcomes for all students.
