Summary

Severn Elementary in Severn, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 458 students in grades PK-5 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a high-performing, stable option for families in the area.

This school consistently outperforms district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA), with 35.8% of students proficient in Math and 60.2% in ELA, compared to district averages of 29.3% and 55.9%, respectively. A standout feature is its exceptional success with Hispanic students, ranking 17th out of 347 schools statewide for this group—a 5-star achievement. Additionally, Severn Elementary boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.0%, far better than the district average of 19.9% and dramatically lower than nearby schools like Meade Heights Elementary (33.8%) and Van Bokkelen Elementary (35.6%). This strong attendance signals a positive and engaging school environment. Notably, the school achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($17,044) than many lower-performing neighbors, such as Van Bokkelen ($22,243), suggesting effective resource use and strong teaching practices drive its success.

While Severn Elementary excels in core subjects, it has areas for growth. Fifth-grade Science scores are a weakness, with only 25.8% of students proficient, well below the district average of 37.8%. There is also a significant gender gap, with female students ranking in the 73rd percentile and male students in the 38th percentile. Despite these challenges, the school’s stability is a key strength—its state ranking has remained in the 54th to 64th percentile range over the last five years, with a clear upward trend. For families seeking a reliable, high-performing school in the area, Severn Elementary is a bright spot, especially when compared to nearby schools like Glen Burnie Park Elementary and Oakwood Elementary, which score below district averages.
