Abstract | This study examines the conditions of the Baltimore City Public Schools in the 2001-2002 school year, using data from the Maryland State Department of Education and the Baltimore City Public School System. Overall, the Baltimore City Public School system is failing, but it is failing more for some students than others. Students who are poor, non-white, and in schools with large enrollments are more likely to fail. Large enrollments, poorly-qualified and inexperienced teachers, and teachers who are not consistently there for their students are associated with negative student performance. There has been some improvement compared to the 2000-2001 school year. For example, the percentage of uncertified teachers has decreased. However, during the same period, the teacher-student ratio has increased. On a rating of improvement by the Education Commission of the States, Maryland received "does not appear to be on track" in two areas (having a highly qualified teacher in every classroom and having high quality professional development).
