Summary:
Deale, Maryland is home to a single public school, Deale Elementary, which serves students from Kindergarten through 5th grade within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.
Deale Elementary is a standout performer, consistently exceeding both district and state averages in core subjects. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school achieved a remarkable 52.6% proficiency in Mathematics and 69.5% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 27.1% and 51.7%, respectively. This academic excellence earned the school a 4-star rating and a state ranking in the 84th percentile (142 out of 864 schools). The school's performance trajectory is particularly compelling: after a dip in ranking during the 2024-2025 school year, it rebounded strongly to its highest position in the dataset. Key factors supporting this success include a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, a high per-student spending of $22,933, and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.6%—significantly better than the district average of 19.9%.
While the school excels overall, there are specific areas of note. English Language Arts is a clear strength, with 4th graders achieving a 75.7% proficiency rate. However, 5th grade Mathematics presents a potential challenge, with proficiency dropping to 39.3%—a notable decline from the 63.3% seen in 3rd grade. This suggests a possible curriculum gap or need for targeted support in upper elementary math. With only 19.7% of students economically disadvantaged, the school benefits from strong community support, which, combined with its high spending and low class sizes, creates an environment conducive to exceptional academic outcomes.
