Summary

Odenton Elementary is a mid-sized public school in Odenton, MD, serving 587 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it has established itself as a consistent, average performer in a neighborhood with a wide range of school outcomes.

One of the most notable features of Odenton Elementary is its role as a "middle ground" among nearby schools. While high-performing neighbors like Four Seasons Elementary and Waugh Chapel Elementary rank in the 79th and 85th percentiles, and struggling schools like Van Bokkelen Elementary and Meade Heights Elementary rank in the 8th and 25th percentiles, Odenton has held a steady 3-star rating and 54th-55th percentile rank for the last four years. The school shows a specific strength in mathematics, with 31.7% of students proficient—above both the district (29.3%) and state (27.1%) averages. However, this strength is not uniform across all grades; math proficiency drops significantly from 3rd grade (41.5%) to 5th grade (25.3%), suggesting the school struggles to maintain momentum as the curriculum becomes more complex. Interestingly, English Language Arts scores are a relative weakness, with only 51.4% of students proficient, below the district average of 55.9%.

A critical area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which is nearly 20% higher than the district average and more than double the rates at high-performing neighbors like Nantucket Elementary (8.5%) and Four Seasons Elementary (10.6%). This absenteeism rate aligns more closely with struggling schools in the area and is likely a major factor holding back academic outcomes. Additionally, Odenton spends $17,871 per student—higher than several higher-performing neighbors—yet achieves lower academic results, raising questions about how effectively resources are being used to drive student success.
