Summary:
The 21225 zip code area in Maryland is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across two school districts - Baltimore City Public Schools and Anne Arundel County Public Schools. While the data reveals stark performance gaps between these schools and state/district averages, a few schools stand out in the area.
Brooklyn Park Middle is the highest-performing school in the data set, with the best test scores and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the group. The Park Elementary and Belle Grove Elementary schools, both part of the Anne Arundel County district, also have relatively stronger performance compared to the Baltimore City elementary schools. Meanwhile, Curtis Bay Elementary stands out among the Baltimore City schools, with higher proficiency rates than the district average.
The data also reveals significant challenges facing these schools, including very low graduation and proficiency rates, especially at Benjamin Franklin High School at Masonville Cove, which has a 70.9% four-year graduation rate and only 1.4% proficient in math and 15.5% proficient in English language arts. Additionally, the schools in the 21225 zip code have extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.38% to 91.78%, indicating the significant socioeconomic challenges these communities face. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions will be crucial in improving outcomes for students in this area.
