Summary

Cape St. Claire Elementary is a public elementary school in Annapolis, Maryland, serving 653 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Cape St. Claire Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 52.5% and 63.8%, respectively, compared to the district averages of 28.8% and 56.3%, and the state averages of 26.5% and 50.8%. The school also performs exceptionally well in serving its Hispanic student population, ranking 39th out of 347 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2020-2021 school year.

However, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.2% to 25.3% in recent years, is an area of concern that the school and district should address. While Cape St. Claire Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, such as Annapolis Elementary and Eastport Elementary, schools like West Annapolis Elementary, Arnold Elementary, and Broadneck Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates that are comparable to or even exceed those of Cape St. Claire Elementary.
