The data suggests that the magnet schools in the area, such as Kenmoor Middle, Thomas G. Pullen, and Judith P. Hoyer Montessori, are outperforming the traditional public schools in the area. However, the majority of schools in the 20785 zip code have high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by many of the schools.
Across the district, there are concerns about chronic absenteeism, with all schools in the data set reporting high rates.
