Summary

Chapel Hill Elementary in Perry Hall, MD, is a high-performing public school serving 535 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade, and it is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district. This school stands out as an academic powerhouse, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the top 2% of all Maryland elementary schools, with exceptional test scores that far exceed district averages—for example, 75.7% proficiency in math (compared to the district's 21.9%) and 83.8% in English Language Arts (versus 46.1%).

What truly sets Chapel Hill apart is its remarkable efficiency and ability to support all students. The school achieves top-tier results while spending less per student ($17,183) than nearby high-performing peers like Kingsville Elementary ($19,232) and Honeygo Elementary ($18,195). It also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.4%, the lowest among nearby schools and a fraction of the district's 25.6% rate. Chapel Hill excels with historically underserved groups, ranking 3rd in Maryland for African American students and 11th for special education students, demonstrating highly effective strategies for closing opportunity gaps.

While Chapel Hill is a model of excellence, there are minor areas for growth. A slight dip in 4th-grade math proficiency (67.6%) suggests a potential curriculum gap to investigate, and performance with Asian students (43rd percentile) is an outlier compared to other subgroups. Overall, Chapel Hill forms part of a "high-performance cluster" with Kingsville and Honeygo, contrasting with nearby schools like Glenmar Elementary and Joppatowne Elementary, which face greater challenges. For parents, Chapel Hill offers a proven track record of academic excellence, strong community engagement, and efficient resource use, making it a standout choice in the region.
