Summary

Flintstone Elementary is a small, rural PK-5 school in Flintstone, MD, serving 223 students within the Allegany County Public Schools district, where about 57% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its consistent strength in English Language Arts (ELA), where it has outperformed both the district and state averages for four straight years—with 57.5% of students proficient in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 53.1%. It is particularly effective with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 71st percentile statewide for this group. Flintstone also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.7%, far better than the district average of 33.6% and much lower than nearby schools like John Humbird Elementary (38.2%) and South Penn Elementary (43.9%). However, math scores are more middling, with only 36.2% proficient in 2025-2026, and 5th-grade science scores have shown extreme year-to-year swings, from 54.3% proficiency in 2022-2023 down to 8.7% in 2024-2025 before rebounding to 36.7%.

Despite spending more per student ($18,800) than some higher-performing peers like Northeast Elementary ($16,123), Flintstone's overall state ranking has fluctuated between the 42nd and 71st percentiles over the past decade. The school showed a resilient recovery from the pandemic, rebounding from a 36th-percentile ranking in 2020-2021 to a 71st-percentile peak in 2023-2024. This bounce-back, combined with strong attendance and targeted support for disadvantaged students, points to a stable and supportive environment where literacy is a clear priority, even as math and science remain areas for growth.
