Despite spending more per student ($9,852 in 2018-2019) than other Carroll County elementary schools, Sharp Creek Elementary consistently underperforms on the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with only 31.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to 40% for the county and 34.9% for the state.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 22, 2016

The new administration is changing Sharp Creek. The teachers seem to feel appreciated and the kids are rewarded for good behavior. The students get recognized for doing well on their work. As a parent I also appreciate that those not doing the right thing are held accountable for their choices. It was hard getting adjusted to the new procedures, but it has been good changes. I do wish the school had a good PTO, but I don't know anyone that wants to do it, and working full time being a single mom, I can't (so I have no room to complain if I can't be a part of it). I am glad my child has a few more years at Sharp Creek because I'm excited to see the continued improvements. The new principal and assistant principal even try to know the names of all the students, which has got to be hard! Close Quote
