Summary

Brunswick Elementary is a public elementary school in Brunswick, Maryland, serving 773 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Frederick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 5 out of 25 in Maryland and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Brunswick Elementary has consistently ranked in the top half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 48.3% of Brunswick students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 36.8% for the district and 26.5% for the state.
