Summary:
In zip code 20678, there is one middle school, Calvert Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 in Prince Frederick, Maryland, with 607 students enrolled.
Calvert Middle is part of the highly-rated Calvert County Public Schools district, which is ranked 3rd in Maryland. The school has shown steady improvement in its state ranking over the last three years, moving from the 69th percentile to the 74th percentile and earning a 4-star rating. A key strength is English Language Arts (ELA), where 68.8% of students are proficient, significantly outperforming the state average of 51.7%. The school also excels in advanced math, with 50.8% of students proficient in Algebra I, which is more than double the state average. Additionally, the school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (13.4%) compared to the district average (17.3%), and spends $19,027 per student.
However, there is a notable contrast in math performance. While advanced math is a standout, overall math proficiency is a concern at just 23.9%, which is below both the district (37.9%) and state (27.1%) averages. This proficiency also declines as students progress through grades, dropping from 21.9% in 6th grade to 15.1% in 8th grade. In contrast, ELA proficiency remains consistently high across all grades. This suggests that while the school effectively accelerates top math students, the majority of students may need additional support in grade-level mathematics. For parents, Calvert Middle offers a strong literacy program and a positive school climate, but the math scores indicate an area where the school is working to improve for all students.
