Summary

Severn Elementary is a public elementary school serving 506 students in grades PK-5 in Severn, Maryland. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 13 out of 25 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Severn Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, and science proficiency. In 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rate is 57.7%, compared to 56.3% for the district and 50.8% for the state. In mathematics, Severn Elementary's proficiency rate of 36.2% is higher than the district's 28.8% and the state's 26.5%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 27.6% is also higher than the district's 31.2% and the state's 25.6%. However, the school's military-connected students rank 21st out of 23 Maryland elementary schools in ELA proficiency, with a 1-star rating.

Severn Elementary generally outperforms nearby schools like Glen Burnie Park Elementary and Meade Heights Elementary in test scores, but some nearby schools, such as Ridgeway Elementary and Manor View Elementary, have higher mathematics and science proficiency rates. The school's higher spending per student compared to the district average suggests effective resource allocation, but the high chronic absenteeism rate, despite a decreasing trend, is a concern that may be impacting overall student performance.
