Bay View Elementary

Q: Is Bay View Elementary a good school?

Bay View Elementary ranks 557 th of 859 Maryland elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bay View Elementary is a public elementary school in North East, Maryland, serving 468 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cecil County Public Schools district, which is ranked 15 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Bay View Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (69.44%) compared to nearby schools like Gilpin Manor Elementary (41.3%) and Cecil Manor Elementary (37.97%), the school's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, Bay View's proficiency rates in Mathematics (17.3%) and English Language Arts (34.2%) were significantly below the Cecil County Public Schools and Maryland averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.17% in 2020-2021 to 65.38% in 2022-2023, which is higher than surrounding schools like Calvert Elementary (39.6%) and Kenmore Elementary (41.61%).

The analysis of Bay View Elementary suggests that the performance gap between the school and its peers, as well as the state, appears to be widening over time. This may be correlated with the school's higher percentage of students from low-income families, which research has shown can contribute to lower academic achievement. To address these challenges, Bay View Elementary may benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and close the achievement gap, especially when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Elk Neck Elementary, Calvert Elementary, and Kenmore Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
