Summary

Severna Park Elementary is a top-performing public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Severna Park, Maryland, part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district. With 395 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, the school has consistently been one of the highest-ranking elementary schools in the state, placing in the top 25 for the past 10 years.

Severna Park Elementary significantly outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 71.7% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 84.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 28.8% and 56.3% for the district, respectively. The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.5% to 25.3% over the past few years, and spends $16,798 per student, higher than the district average.

While Severna Park Elementary is a standout, several nearby schools, such as Benfield Elementary, Folger McKinsey Elementary, and Jones Elementary, also demonstrate high academic achievement, suggesting a concentration of top-performing schools in the Severna Park area. However, Severna Park Elementary's low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, compared to nearby schools, indicates it serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its success.
