Summary

Calvert Elementary is a public elementary school in Prince Frederick, Maryland, serving 479 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Calvert County Public Schools district, which is ranked 3 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calvert Elementary consistently outperforms the Calvert County Public Schools and Maryland state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Calvert Elementary's Mathematics proficiency for all grades was 48.4%, compared to 33% for Calvert County and 26.5% for Maryland. Similarly, its ELA proficiency for all grades was 61.9%, compared to 66.2% for Calvert County and 50.8% for Maryland. Calvert Elementary's 5th-grade Science proficiency is also higher than the Calvert County and Maryland averages.

While Calvert Elementary performs well compared to other schools in the Calvert County district, some nearby schools, such as Mount Harmony Elementary and Huntingtown Elementary, outperform Calvert Elementary in both Mathematics and ELA proficiency. Additionally, Calvert Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students and Multi-racial students, is lower compared to other subgroups and the overall school performance, indicating a need to focus on addressing the achievement gaps for these subgroups. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate and the effective use of its resources are also areas that warrant further investigation.
