Summary

Millersville Elementary is a K-5 school in Millersville, MD, serving 386 students within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it has a long history of strong academic performance, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional early math instruction: 74.5% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, far above the district (43.4%) and state (42.6%) averages, and the highest among all nearby schools. However, this strength creates a notable challenge, as math proficiency drops sharply to 41.2% in 4th grade and 38.3% in 5th grade—a much steeper decline than at top-performing neighbors like Shipley's Choice Elementary, where math scores remain consistently high across all grades. Millersville also excels in science, with 55% of 5th graders proficient compared to 37.8% in the district, and it has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.4%, well below the district average of 19.9%. The school invests heavily in resources, spending $19,174 per student (the second-highest among nearby schools) and maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1, yet it operates in a competitive neighborhood where schools like Benfield Elementary and South Shore Elementary rank in the 94th and 97th percentiles, respectively.

For parents, Millersville Elementary offers a strong foundation with small class sizes, excellent attendance, and standout early math and science programs. The key area to watch is the "middle school slump" in math after 3rd grade, which suggests the school may need to focus on maintaining academic momentum in upper elementary grades. While it is a solid, above-average school, it is surrounded by several elite schools that consistently rank higher, so families should consider how Millersville’s strengths align with their child’s needs, particularly in math support for older students.
