Summary

Four Seasons Elementary in Gambrills, MD, is a high-performing public school serving 667 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, consistently ranking in the top 20% of elementary schools statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional early education program, particularly in 3rd grade, where 70.4% of students are proficient in Math and 75.5% in English Language Arts—a Math proficiency rate that is 27 percentage points above the district average and the highest among 11 nearby schools. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.6%, roughly half the district average, indicating strong family engagement. While nearby Crofton Woods Elementary ranks slightly higher overall with lower per-student spending, Four Seasons achieves its results with a slightly higher investment per student ($16,173), suggesting a focus on resource allocation that yields strong returns. Notably, the school is particularly effective for male students, ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for this subgroup.

One area for attention is the drop in proficiency rates between 3rd and 4th/5th grades—for example, Math proficiency falls from 70.4% in 3rd grade to 43.2% in 5th grade. This pattern is common but more pronounced here, possibly reflecting the increasing complexity of upper-grade curriculum. In contrast, Two Rivers Elementary, just 2.1 miles away, shows a strength in 5th-grade ELA (82.3% proficiency) but lower overall Math scores (41.4%), highlighting Four Seasons' more balanced program. Overall, Four Seasons provides a consistently excellent foundation, especially in early grades, with a clear opportunity to ensure that strong start carries through to 5th grade.
