Summary:

The 10 public schools in zip code 20748 (Temple Hills, MD), all part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, serve grades K-12 and face significant challenges, with high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism being the most critical issues.

The standout school in the area is Maya Angelou French Immersion, which consistently earns a 3-star rating and is the only school to exceed the state average in English Language Arts (54.5% proficient). It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (9.6%) and a low poverty rate (40.5% free/reduced lunch). Another bright spot is Overlook Elementary, which made a dramatic turnaround from a 1-star to a 3-star school in just two years, driven by a drop in chronic absenteeism to 13.0% and strong academic gains. In contrast, Crossland High is a major concern, with a low graduation rate (73.7%), a high dropout rate (22.8%), and critically low math proficiency (4.6%). The two middle schools, Thurgood Marshall Middle and Benjamin Stoddert Middle, also struggle, with math proficiency rates of just 3.9% and 3.0%, respectively.

Overall, the data reveals a strong link between poverty and performance. The two highest-performing schools have the lowest poverty rates, while the lowest-performing schools have poverty rates above 93%. Chronic absenteeism is the defining challenge, averaging 34.2% across the area, with Panorama Elementary (51.4%) and Hillcrest Heights Elementary (48.7%) having the worst rates. The Imagine Lincoln PCS charter school offers a different option with a lower poverty rate (73.3%) and consistent improvement. For parents, Maya Angelou French Immersion and Overlook Elementary are the clear top choices, while the high school and middle schools require careful consideration due to their low academic outcomes.
