Summary

Milbrook Elementary is a small school in Baltimore, MD, serving 263 students in grades PK-5 within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it has recently shown a remarkable upward trend in academic performance after years of struggling.

Milbrook’s most notable strength is its rapid improvement. The school has climbed from the 12th percentile in state rankings (2021-2022) to the 34th percentile (2025-2026)—a gain of 22 points that outpaces all nearby schools. While Powhatan Elementary, Summit Park Elementary, and Wellwood International School have higher absolute rankings, their performance is flat or declining. Milbrook also stands out for its support of economically disadvantaged students, with its low-income subgroup ranking in the 62nd percentile statewide in 2020-2021—far above the school’s overall ranking at the time. Additionally, its 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (45.9%) nearly matches the district and state averages, a unique bright spot for the school.

Milbrook sits on a border between two very different districts. It outperforms nearby Baltimore City Public Schools options like Cross Country Elementary/Middle (19% math proficiency vs. Milbrook’s 23.5%) and Fallstaff Elementary/Middle (6.4% math proficiency), but lags behind higher-performing Baltimore County peers like Bedford Elementary. Chronic absenteeism (29.2%) remains a challenge, though it is much lower than at nearby city schools like Arlington Elementary (49.8%). Milbrook’s recent improvement, achieved despite attendance issues, suggests effective strategies beyond just increased spending.
