Summary

Edgemere Elementary is a mid-sized public school in the Edgemere community of Baltimore, serving 458 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it stands out as a high-performing, efficient school within the Baltimore County Public Schools district.

Edgemere consistently earns a 3-star rating and ranks in the top half of Maryland schools, currently at the 53rd percentile. Its academic performance is notably strong compared to nearby schools. For example, in Math, Edgemere’s proficiency rate of 34.3% is nearly double the average of its ten closest neighbors, and in English Language Arts, its 49.5% rate far exceeds the nearby average of 31.9%. Only Chesapeake Terrace Elementary performs slightly higher in these subjects. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2%, which is less than half the district average and dramatically lower than the 26.7% average of nearby schools. This strong attendance culture, combined with a lower rate of economic disadvantage (44.5% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch compared to a 72.3% average for neighbors), helps explain its academic advantages.

Edgemere is also remarkably efficient with its resources, spending $18,176 per student—significantly less than the nearby school average of about $20,400—while achieving far superior results. For context, Battle Grove Elementary spends over $32,000 per student but achieves only an 18.1% Math proficiency rate. While Edgemere’s recent test scores dipped slightly from the previous year, its consistent track record and strong community profile make it a standout choice in the area. The school serves its economically disadvantaged students particularly well, ranking in the 59th percentile statewide for that group, which highlights its role as an engine of opportunity in the community.
