Summary

Broadneck Elementary in Arnold, MD, is a K-5 school serving 652 students within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 77th to 88th percentile statewide over the past decade. This school stands out for its exceptional support of economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide for serving low socioeconomic status students, which is a stark contrast to its performance with other subgroups. While Broadneck is a strong school, it operates in a highly competitive area surrounded by elite 5-star schools like Folger Mckinsey Elementary (98th percentile) and Severna Park Elementary (98th percentile), placing it in a solid middle tier among local peers.

A key area for growth is in upper-grade math proficiency, which shows a notable decline from 62.7% in 3rd grade to 38.8% in 5th grade, a pattern not seen in nearby top performers like Arnold Elementary, where 5th-grade math proficiency reaches 62.3%. However, Broadneck’s science scores are on a strong upward trend, rising from 37.5% to 47.1% over recent years, and its chronic absenteeism rate has improved dramatically to just 10.2%, well below the district average of 19.9%. The school also achieves these results with efficient spending of $16,138 per student, which is lower than some neighboring schools like Lake Shore Elementary ($18,644) and Belvedere Elementary ($18,220), suggesting effective resource allocation.

Overall, Broadneck Elementary is a stable, high-performing school that excels in equity and family engagement, making it a great choice for families seeking a supportive environment. Its primary challenge is closing the performance gap with the elite 5-star schools in its vicinity, particularly in upper-grade math, where it could look to Arnold Elementary as a model for improvement. With its strong track record and focus on student support, Broadneck remains a reliable option for parents in the Arnold area.
