Summary

Annapolis Elementary is a small, urban school in Annapolis, MD, serving 190 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a notable "resource paradox": it spends a very high $36,018 per student and has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.7:1, yet its academic performance is among the lowest in the area. Test scores in both Math and English Language Arts are significantly below district and state averages, and the school holds a 1-star rating. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 31.1%—nearly double the district average. There is also a sharp academic decline as students progress: 3rd-grade math proficiency (28%) is relatively close to the district average, but by 5th grade, it drops to just 5%. Science proficiency for 5th graders is only 4.7%.

For context, West Annapolis Elementary, located just 1.32 miles away, is a 5-star school with 84% ELA proficiency and only 6.8% chronic absenteeism, highlighting the stark socioeconomic differences within the same city. While Annapolis Elementary spends nearly $18,000 more per student than the district average, its persistent challenges suggest that high funding and small class sizes alone are not overcoming the barriers to learning. The school's state ranking has been on a steady decline for a decade, falling from the 53rd percentile in 2016 to the 16th percentile in 2026, indicating systemic issues that have not yet been resolved.
