Summary:

The 20640 zip code in Maryland is home to a single high school, Henry E. Lackey High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking declining over the past few years and its academic outcomes generally falling below district and state averages.

Henry E. Lackey High School's standardized test scores are particularly low, with only 4.6% of students proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to 16.9% for the Charles County Public Schools district and 26.5% for the state. The school's performance on MCAP/English Language Arts is slightly better, with 43.3% of 10th-grade students proficient or better, but still below the district and state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 90.4% in 2023-2024 is also slightly lower than the state average.

Factors that may be contributing to the school's challenges include a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (54.54% in 2023-2024) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $19,573 in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, suggesting that additional resources may be needed to address the school's performance and attendance issues.
