Summary

Owings Mills Elementary is a public school in Owings Mills, MD, serving 666 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where a high percentage of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in Mathematics, with 32.9% of students proficient—significantly higher than the district average of 21.9% and the state average of 27.1%. This is a consistent trend over the past four years, and it outperforms nearby schools like Glyndon Elementary (20.2%), Woodholme Elementary (23.3%), and Reisterstown Elementary (15.3%). However, English Language Arts scores (39.2% proficient) lag behind the district (46.1%) and state (51.7%), and 5th-grade Science is a notable weakness at 22.6% proficiency compared to 31% district-wide. The school has also achieved a remarkable turnaround in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 41.9% in 2021-2022 to 22.5% in 2024-2025—now below the district average of 25.6%.

Interestingly, nearby Deer Park Elementary serves a similar percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (66.93% free/reduced lunch) but ranks higher overall (54th percentile) with strong performance in both Math and ELA. This comparison shows that high poverty rates don't predetermine outcomes, and Owings Mills can look to Deer Park as a model for improving its ELA and Science instruction. While per-student spending has increased to $18,474—higher than schools like New Town Elementary ($16,398) and Timber Grove Elementary ($17,340)—the mixed academic results suggest that optimizing resource allocation could further boost performance in weaker subjects.
