Summary:

The 20706 zip code area of Prince George's County, Maryland is home to 12 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. This diverse set of educational institutions serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 36.96% to 92.55%.

Among the standout schools in the area are Glenarden Woods Elementary, a 5-star rated school that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with over 90% of students proficient in mathematics and English language arts. Another high-performing school is Robert Goddard Montessori, a public magnet school that excels in both mathematics and English language arts, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Phyllis E. Williams Elementary, a public magnet elementary school, also demonstrates strong academic performance, with over 60% of students proficient in English language arts and 43.8% proficient in mathematics.

In contrast, the high school, Duval High, and the middle school, Thomas Johnson Middle, struggle with relatively low proficiency rates in mathematics and Algebra I, significantly below the state and Prince George's County Public Schools district averages. This stark performance disparity highlights the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the achievement gap within the 20706 zip code area.
