Summary:
The 21207 zip code area in Maryland is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, which are part of the Baltimore County Public Schools and Baltimore City Public Schools districts. While the academic performance varies across the schools, a few stand out as noteworthy.
Powhatan Elementary is the top-performing school in the area, with the highest percentage of students proficient or better in Math (27.5%) and English Language Arts (57.3%) across all grades. It also has the highest 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both subjects. In contrast, Dickey Hill Elementary/Middle has some of the lowest proficiency rates, but it stands out for having the highest percentage of 7th-grade students proficient or better in ELA at 41.7%. Liberty Elementary, a Baltimore City school, also performs relatively well compared to other Baltimore City schools, with 19.9% of students proficient or better in Math and 28.8% in ELA across all grades.
The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, particularly in Math and ELA proficiency rates. This suggests that students in the 21207 zip code area may not have equitable access to quality education. Additionally, several schools have very high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. The wide range in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios also indicates potential inequities in the distribution of resources across the schools in this area.
