Summary

Carroll Manor Elementary is a small, high-performing K-5 school in Baldwin, MD, serving 371 students and consistently ranking among the top 2% of all elementary schools in Maryland for nearly a decade.

This school is a true standout within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which overall ranks in the bottom half of the state. Carroll Manor’s academic performance is exceptional, with 73.2% of students proficient in math and 86.3% proficient in English Language Arts. These rates are more than triple the district average in math and nearly double in reading. To put this in perspective, nearby schools like Seven Oaks Elementary, Pot Spring Elementary, and Pine Grove Elementary average just 38.8% proficiency in math and 53.5% in ELA. Only Timonium Elementary and Jacksonville Elementary come close to matching its elite performance. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.1%, which is over four times lower than the district average of 25.6%, indicating a highly engaged and supportive school community.

While the school’s per-student spending is higher than many of its neighbors, its success is more likely driven by a strong community culture and effective use of resources rather than spending alone. For instance, Padonia International Elementary spends more per student but ranks much lower statewide. One area for potential growth is 5th-grade science, where Carroll Manor’s 69.6% proficiency, while still well above the state average, lags behind its own stellar math and reading scores and is lower than Timonium Elementary’s 78.7%.
