Who We Are: Our Community and School Culture
-
Each of our schools’ leadership teams analyzed the factors that impact their students’ ability to engage deeply and achieve academic success. They shared stories of their students and families, some of whom are facing serious challenges associated with physical wellness, social-emotional stability, unique learning needs, family security, mental health, violence, and food/housing uncertainties. They discussed the obstacles that their students face daily when preparing to come to school on time, ready to learn.

Questions such as the following drove discussions around Anne Arundel County:
- What are the challenges and obstacles that negatively affect our students’ engagement and achievement most significantly and why?
- Are we analyzing our data and listening closely to learn about all of our students when we seek to understand our learners’ social-emotional and academic struggles?

Below is the school’s story as seen through the eyes of school leaders. They discuss the culture of their school and the community.
During the 2017-18 school year, approximately 70% of our student population was new to Eastport as a result of redistricting in the Annapolis area. The Eastport school community set out to create a culture based on safety, respect, and responsibility.
In May of 2018, our parent climate survey indicated 98% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that Eastport Elementary School had a welcoming atmosphere and they were comfortable contacting their child's teacher with questions or concerns. 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that Eastport staff cared about their child. At the same time, our student climate survey indicated that 84% of students believed teachers cared about them and were respectful to them.
