Summary:

The Calvert County Public Schools district in Maryland consists of 23 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is highly ranked, placing 3rd out of 25 districts in Maryland and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out in the district, including Mount Harmony Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with high test scores and a 5-star rating. Windy Hill Middle also ranks highly, in the top 20% of Maryland middle schools, with impressive test scores, especially in English Language Arts. At the high school level, Northern High is the top-performing high school in the district, ranking in the top quarter of Maryland high schools.

While the district as a whole performs well, there are some areas for improvement. Mathematics proficiency is generally lower than English Language Arts, with the district and state scores lagging behind the national average. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all schools reporting around 18.5% chronic absenteeism. The district should continue to focus on data-driven decision making and targeted interventions to address these challenges and build on the strengths of its top-performing schools.
