Summary

Jones Elementary in Severna Park, MD, is a high-performing K-5 school serving 334 students within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, known for its consistent academic excellence and strong community support.

Jones Elementary stands out for its remarkable stability and efficiency. While nearby top-tier schools like Benfield Elementary and Folger Mckinsey Elementary have seen more fluctuation in state rankings, Jones has remained a steady performer, ranking in the top 10% of Maryland elementary schools for five consecutive years. In the 2025-2026 school year, 63.9% of students were proficient in Math and 74.9% in English Language Arts, far exceeding district averages. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.2%, compared to the district average of 22.1%, and spends $17,481 per student—less than many peers, including South Shore Elementary ($19,636) and significantly less than Pasadena Elementary ($23,007), which serves a higher-poverty population. This efficiency highlights how Jones converts resources into outstanding outcomes.

One interesting trend is a slight dip in math proficiency as students progress, with 78.7% of 3rd graders proficient in math dropping to 50.8% in 5th grade—a pattern seen across the area, including at Oak Hill Elementary and Broadneck Elementary, suggesting a district-wide challenge rather than a school-specific issue. Overall, Jones Elementary is a model of consistent, high-quality education, making it a standout choice for families in the Severna Park area.

Jones is a small school with too many students. Class sizes in the upper 20's stuffed in rooms too small to hold them. To make matters harder on the teachers they bus in behavior problems from other districts. The teacher are good but there is only so much they can do. We moved here specifically for the school and are very disappointed. Close Quote
