Your Neighborhood School
Frederick Elementary School #260 has served the West Baltimore community since 1983, when the school first opened as a traditional public school.
In 2016, Frederick Elementary and Samuel F.B. Morse Elementary School merged as part of Baltimore City Public Schools’ 21st Century School Building Plan. At the same time, Frederick Elementary converted to a charter school operated by the Baltimore Curriculum Project (BCP), marking the beginning of a new chapter in our school’s history.
In fall 2017, we moved into a newly renovated school building with modern classrooms and facilities, giving our students access to a high-quality learning environment. Since becoming a charter school, Frederick Elementary (FES) has continued to grow and improve, providing a safe, supportive place for students to learn and succeed.

Parent Leadership Group (PLG)
The PLG at Frederick Elementary School is a way for families to provide input on school decisions and plan activities for parents. Parent activities have included hosting a Parent cafe, where parents discussed parenting strategies and solutions to common issues over coffee and hosting a comedy show titled “A House is Not a Home” with a restorative practice approach.
