Summary

Easton Elementary in Easton, MD, is a large school serving 1,075 students in grades PK-5 within the Talbot County Public Schools district, and it faces significant academic challenges despite high per-student spending. The school has a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom third of Maryland elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math (19.1%) and English Language Arts (32.1%) well below state averages. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Chapel District Elementary, which achieves 51.9% math and 69.1% ELA proficiency, and White Marsh Elementary with 48% and 56% respectively. Over the past decade, Easton Elementary has experienced a steady decline from the 50th percentile to the 28th percentile, while its district peers have maintained high rankings.

A key factor is the school's high level of economic disadvantage, with over 75% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch—far higher than any other school in Talbot County, such as St. Michaels Elementary (47.89%) or Chapel District Elementary (40.11%). Interestingly, Easton Elementary spends more per student ($19,911) than top-performing schools like White Marsh Elementary ($18,503), suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. Chronic absenteeism (20.3%) is lower than the district average (25.2%) and much lower than struggling schools in neighboring Dorchester County Public Schools, like Choptank Elementary (46.0%) and Sandy Hill Elementary (39.5%), indicating that instructional challenges go beyond attendance.

Despite these struggles, Easton Elementary shows relative strength for its Hispanic students and low socio-economic status students, who perform in the 55th-58th percentile statewide. However, the school faces a critical equity gap, with African American students ranking in the 27th percentile and multi-racial students in the 15th percentile. While Easton Elementary is the lowest-performing school in Talbot County, it still outperforms the most challenged schools in Dorchester County, like Choptank Elementary and Sandy Hill Elementary, highlighting that its underperformance is relative to a high-performing district context.
