Among 887 elementary schools in Maryland with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 472 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 17th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 11.3:1, below the Maryland median of 13.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Hispanic or Latino (74.7%) and Black (23.1%). English learners represent 49.7% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 7.2%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
