Summary

Deep Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 414 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in the state.

Deep Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Maryland, with academic performance significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.2% of Deep Creek students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.7% in the district and 26.5% statewide. The school also faces extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.0% to 53.2% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Deep Creek serves a high-poverty student population, with 79.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Deep Creek Elementary to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Orems Elementary and Martin Boulevard Elementary, it becomes clear that Deep Creek is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. These nearby schools significantly outperform Deep Creek on state assessments and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's consistent underperformance over the years, addressing the underlying issues of poverty and attendance through targeted interventions and support services could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Deep Creek Elementary.

Students are awful and abusive to other children, Horrible school. My 6 yr. old Daughter has been Punched, Pushed , Choked, and slapped across the face and her butt. And this started in kindergarten. The Principle or vice principle have done nothing to help make this kids feel safe in the class room. Nor have they removed the problem kids from the class rooms. I feel bad for these teacher who have no support from the board or the Principle or vice principle. Close Quote

I’ve never seen a Bmore County school this bad before. Embarrassment to the rest of the county. Feels like a penitentiary instead of a place for learning.
Principals are clueless and let the kids run the show. Close Quote

There is no PTA at this school. Conferences can only be scheduled at useless times (8:00am, 3:30pm, 3:45pm and 4:00pm). Again I say these times are useless to parents that work during the day (who can afford to take off of work). Close Quote
