Summary

Easton High is a public high school in Easton, Maryland, serving 1,210 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Talbot County Public Schools district, which is ranked 15 out of 25 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Easton High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.1% to 94.1% in recent years, the school faces several challenges. Its test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 4% of students proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics for All Grades, compared to 18.9% for the Talbot County Public Schools district and 26.5% for the state of Maryland. Additionally, Easton High has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 28.5% to 36.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.42% to 57.77% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as St. Michaels Middle/High School, Queen Anne's County High School, and other schools in the region, Easton High generally performs worse in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the area, and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to these challenges could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance.
