Summary

Linthicum Elementary is a public elementary school in Linthicum, Maryland, serving 445 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.

Linthicum Elementary consistently outperforms the county and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (36.1%) and ELA (50.6%) were significantly higher than the county (28.8% and 56.3%) and state (26.5% and 50.8%) averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd grade Mathematics (43% proficient) and 3rd grade ELA (53.8% proficient), exceeding both the county and state averages. Interestingly, Linthicum Elementary's low-income students perform exceptionally well, ranking 34th out of 546 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2020-2021 school year.

Despite having a relatively low percentage of students from low-income families (31.22%) compared to nearby schools like Belle Grove Elementary (90.38%), Park Elementary (87.48%), and Hilltop Elementary (80.3%), Linthicum Elementary has been able to provide an exceptional educational experience for these students. However, the school has experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism (25.1%) in the 2022-2023 school year, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address.
