The screen shot above plots the data for Lyndhurst Elementary School and City Neighbors High School, both in Baltimore city.
The Education Consumers Foundation, an education advocacy group based in Northern Virginia, has developed a graph that plots the percentage of third-grade students in Maryland’s schools who qualify for free or reduced lunch against the reading proficiency of those third-graders.
Select your school on the graph here to plot reading proficiency data.

Baltimore Brew reports that the foundation, upon comparing data from Woodridge Elementary in Prince Georges County and Lyndhurst Elementary, located in the Edmondson Village neighborhood in Baltimore city, found that the two schools “have roughly the same percentage of kids qualifying for free and reduced meals (88.7% for Woodridge and 89.6 percent for Lyndhurst.) But the Prince George’s students had 2012 reading proficiency rate of 92.7%, while at the west Baltimore school only 36.4% tested ‘proficient.’ ”
According to the Education Consumers Foundation, data it uses in the graph comes from Maryland state databases.
