Summary

Belvedere Elementary is a public elementary school located in Arnold, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 532 students. The school is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 13 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belvedere Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools for the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 117 out of 865 Maryland elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is particularly strong in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), where it outperforms the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 56.3% of Belvedere Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 28.8% for Anne Arundel County and 26.5% for Maryland.

While Belvedere Elementary's overall performance is strong, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and district averages, ranging from 11.5% to 25.3% over the past few years. This may be an area of concern that the school and district could focus on to further improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's performance for its White student population, which ranks 178th out of 528 Maryland elementary schools, could be an area for targeted support and intervention.
