Summary

Chesapeake Terrace Elementary is a mid-sized school in the Edgemere area of Baltimore, serving 345 students in grades PK-5, and it stands out as a high-performing, cost-efficient school within the Baltimore County Public Schools district.

The school’s most remarkable strength is its exceptional mathematics performance, with 40.6% of students proficient in math—nearly double the district average of 21.9% and significantly above the state average. This "math school" identity is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Dundalk Elementary (12.4% math proficiency) and Norwood Elementary. Chesapeake Terrace also achieves remarkable success with its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for this subgroup, indicating the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps. Its low poverty rate (36.8% free/reduced lunch) and low chronic absenteeism (15.3% vs. the district’s 25.6%) further support a strong culture of attendance and engagement. The school achieves these results with a per-student spending of $16,692, the lowest among its peer group, making it a model of efficiency.

Interestingly, Chesapeake Terrace and its neighbor Edgemere Elementary (1.3 miles away) are the clear academic leaders in this cluster, though they use different resource strategies—Edgemere has a higher poverty rate and spends more per student. The school has shown a dramatic turnaround in recent years, rebounding from a low of the 45th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026. While strong in math and English Language Arts (50% proficient), 5th-grade science scores (39.1% proficient) are a relative weakness, though they still exceed district and state averages. This "Edgemere Corridor" effect suggests community factors may contribute to the positive outcomes at both schools.
