Summary:
The Worcester County Public Schools district in Maryland is home to five exceptional elementary schools, each offering a high-quality education to students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
Among the standout schools, Ocean City Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 7-36 over the past three years. This school boasts the highest test scores in both math and English language arts compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. Another high-performing school, Showell Elementary, is ranked between 83-91 statewide and has strong test scores, particularly in English language arts where over 73% of students are proficient or better. While not ranked as highly as Ocean City and Showell, Snow Hill Elementary still performs well above the district and state averages in both math and English language arts.
Across the district, the elementary schools generally outperform the state averages in both math and English language arts, with a significant disparity in the free/reduced lunch rates between the schools. The high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools is a concern, but the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios suggest the district is investing significant resources into its elementary schools, which may be contributing to the strong academic performance.
