Original Research by School Decision on Steuart Hill Academic Academy
Steuart Hill Academic Academy is a closed school. The Maryland Department of Education lists its operational status as closed, and the most recent state testing data available is from the 2022-23 school year, which is the last year the school appears to have been active. For a parent or resident looking at this school, the primary fact is that it is no longer operating. The building at 30 S Gilmor Street in Baltimore is not currently serving students under this name.
Because the school is closed, many of the data points one would normally use to evaluate a school are either missing or represent a snapshot of its final year. The school served a middle school grade band, and the available state assessment results from the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) for the 2022-23 school year show that in third-grade math, a small share of students scored at the proficient level or above. In third-grade English language arts, the share was slightly higher but still low. For fourth and fifth grade math, English language arts, and fifth-grade science, the state suppressed the exact results because the number of tested students was too small to report publicly, though the data indicates that the proficiency rate in those subjects fell in the lowest range. Because the school is closed, these results represent a final snapshot rather than a trend a family could follow.
The school was a regular public school within Baltimore City Public Schools, serving a middle school grade band. It was not a charter school. No information was available on magnet status, Title I status, enrollment totals, student demographics, free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education or English learner populations, or staffing. The school's civil rights data, discipline rates, course access, and attendance records were also absent from the available data. Because the school is closed, these gaps are not a sign of missing reporting but rather reflect that the school is no longer active.
The school was located in Baltimore, an independent city with a mix of residential neighborhoods, a major port, and a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital and University are the city's top employers. The city has a walkable urban fabric with many historic districts and a high concentration of public monuments and historic buildings. Civic and commercial life centers on the Inner Harbor and downtown, with major institutions like Johns Hopkins integrated into the city. The city's population has seen a slight decline in recent years, and a major infrastructure project to replace the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge is underway. The school was part of Baltimore City Public Schools, the district that serves the city. No recent district-level changes of lasting parent impact were found in the available research.
For a family looking at this address, the key takeaway is that Steuart Hill Academic Academy is no longer operating. Any student who would have attended this school would now be assigned to a different school within Baltimore City Public Schools. The available test data from its final year shows low proficiency rates in the grades that were tested, but because the school is closed, that data is historical rather than a current reflection of the school's program. A parent researching this school should instead look at the current school serving this attendance area within the Baltimore City Public Schools system.
