Summary

Charlesmont Elementary is a PK-5 school in the Dundalk area of Baltimore, MD, serving 373 students as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it has recently achieved its highest state ranking in a decade, now sitting in the 57th percentile statewide.

Charlesmont stands out dramatically from its neighbors in math and English Language Arts (ELA). In the most recent school year, 39% of students were proficient in math—nearly double the district average of 21.9% and far ahead of nearby schools like Bear Creek Elementary (18.5%) and Battle Grove Elementary (18.1%). In ELA, Charlesmont’s 48.4% proficiency rate is the highest among all nearby schools, outperforming the district average and schools like Sandy Plains Elementary (18%) and Berkshire Elementary (24%). The school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in its area at 16.3%, compared to the district average of 25.6% and much higher rates at Sussex Elementary (36.1%) and Grange Elementary (31.0%).

The school’s most impressive story is its explosive growth in math, which has nearly tripled from 14.2% proficiency three years ago to 39% today, suggesting a highly effective change in instruction. Charlesmont also excels with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 70th percentile for this group. However, science remains a challenge, with only 25.4% of 5th graders proficient, below both district and state averages. The school invests heavily in its students, with a per-student spending of $21,255 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.9, which likely supports its academic success.
