Summary

Traceys Elementary in Tracys Landing, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 448 students in grades PK-5 within the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, located in a rural area where a significant portion of families face economic challenges.

Academically, Traceys Elementary performs in the middle of the pack statewide, currently holding a 2-star rating. Its strongest area is 5th-grade Science, where proficiency (37.5%) matches the district average and exceeds the state average. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores (41.7%) lag behind both the district (55.9%) and state (51.7%), making this a key area for improvement. Mathematics scores (26.1%) are also below district and state averages. The school’s performance is closely tied to its high level of economic need, with 60.5% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. This rate is far higher than nearby Deale Elementary (19.7%) and Davidsonville Elementary (8.3%), but nearly identical to Lothian Elementary (61.7%). Notably, Traceys and Lothian share similar academic scores, while Deale and Davidsonville—with lower poverty rates—perform significantly higher, highlighting the strong link between socioeconomic factors and student outcomes in this region.

A critical challenge is chronic absenteeism, which stands at 19.5%—much higher than Deale (12.6%) and Davidsonville (8.5%), though it has improved from a peak of 28.2% in 2022-2023. The school spends $17,763 per student, above the district average, and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.4. While resources are invested, the data suggests that targeted support for low-income students and efforts to reduce absenteeism are essential to closing achievement gaps. The strong Science performance offers a potential model for success in other subjects.
