Samuel Ogle Middle School: Facts, Programs and Boundaries
Samuel Ogle Middle School is on Chelmont Lane in Belair's Chapel Forge section and starts at 9:30 a.m. Here is what PGCPS publishes and how to confirm a house is zoned to it.
Samuel Ogle Middle School has one of the later bells in Bowie, 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on its posted schedule, which matters more than people expect when two working adults are planning the morning. It sits at 4111 Chelmont Lane, a C street, which places it in the Chapel Forge section of Levitt's Belair.
The name comes straight from local history: Belair Mansion, now a City museum at 12207 Tulip Grove Drive, was built around 1745 for Provincial Governor Samuel Ogle. Below are the facts PGCPS publishes, how boundaries work and how to read the state report card. No ratings, just sources.

Which addresses are zoned to Samuel Ogle?
PGCPS draws middle school boundaries separately from elementary and high school lines, and the county redrew them after the Board vote of November 10, 2022. Two houses in the same Levitt section can feed different middle schools, so the section name tells you nothing for certain.
Enter the exact address in the PGCPS School Finder and read the middle school line. Questions go to PGCPS School Boundaries at 301-952-6300 or school.boundaries@pgcps.org.
How do I read Samuel Ogle's state report card?
On the Maryland School Report Card site, select Prince George's County and search "Samuel Ogle." Middle schools are scored on academic achievement, academic progress, English language proficiency progress, and school quality and student success. The total percentage of points earned becomes a one to five star rating, with five stars at 75% or more and four stars at 60% or more.
The 2024 to 2025 results came out November 4, 2025. MSDE has said a new rating system may launch in 2026 to 2027, so treat year over year star changes cautiously and read the individual indicators.
