Summary

Overlook Elementary is a public elementary school located in Linthicum, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 331. It 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.

Overlook Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, ranging from 291 to 597 out of 802-865 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 5 years. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, such as Hilltop Elementary, Brooklyn Park Elementary, and Belle Grove Elementary. However, Linthicum Elementary, which is located just 0.76 miles away, significantly outperforms Overlook Elementary across all academic measures and has a higher statewide ranking.

Overlook Elementary has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 56.57% to 62.39% over the past 3 school years, which likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance compared to more affluent nearby schools. In both Mathematics and English Language Arts, Overlook Elementary's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the Anne Arundel County and Maryland state averages across all grade levels, with particularly low 5th-grade proficiency rates. The school's per-student spending has increased, but its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, indicating a need to address the high chronic absenteeism rates and improve academic outcomes.
