Summary:

The 20695 zip code contains a single elementary school, Billingsley Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Charles County Public Schools district.

Billingsley Elementary School has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 617 out of 855 Maryland elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 533 out of 865 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on the MCAP assessments are below the Charles County and Maryland state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels, and its 5th grade Science proficiency rate is also below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% and serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 44.7% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's underperformance, Billingsley spends a relatively high amount per student ($17,514) compared to the state average. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the school's struggles. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's outcomes.
