Warwick Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools over the past three years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the school has a high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school spends $19,026 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17:1.
While Warwick Elementary School's academic performance is commendable, the district and state-level performance is relatively low, highlighting the need for broader educational improvements across the region. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.3% is a concern and may be a factor impacting student learning and achievement. Addressing this issue could be an area of focus for the school and district to ensure continued student success.
