Summary:
The 20744 zip code area of Maryland is home to 11 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are performing better than others.
Fort Washington Forest Elementary and Indian Queen Elementary both have 2-3 star ratings, higher than the district average, and stronger test scores than the district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the Excel Academy Public Charter school stands out with higher test scores than the district average in both math and English Language Arts.
However, the schools in this area face significant challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.89% to 82.27%. Test scores are generally below the state averages, with most schools scoring 20-30 percentage points lower than the Maryland average in both math and English Language Arts. This suggests a need to address inequities and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their economic background or the school they attend.
