Summary:
The 21211 zip code area of Baltimore, Maryland is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Hampden Elementary/Middle and Medfield Heights Elementary) and 1 high school (Academy for College and Career Exploration). These schools serve students in the local community and demonstrate a range of performance outcomes.
The two elementary schools, Hampden Elementary/Middle and Medfield Heights Elementary, stand out as strong performers, significantly outpacing the Baltimore City Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in both mathematics and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, the high school, Academy for College and Career Exploration, struggles with lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and much lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.
Across all three schools, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 48.7% to 48.7%, are a significant concern and likely contribute to the performance challenges at the high school level. Additionally, the schools serve populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the free/reduced lunch rates, which range from 34.37% at Medfield Heights Elementary to 77.32% at Academy for College and Career Exploration. Addressing these systemic issues could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for all students in the 21211 zip code area.
