Summary

Seventh District Elementary in Parkton, MD, is a small, high-performing school serving 346 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in a community within Baltimore County Public Schools.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in math, where 69.2% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—far exceeding the district (21.9%) and state (27.1%) averages. Its 3rd-grade math score of 78.6% is the highest among nearby top schools like Fifth District Elementary (76.6%) and Jacksonville Elementary (71.6%). The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 7.9%, a fraction of the district average (25.6%) and lower than many high-achieving neighbors like Sparks Elementary (8.6%). With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and high per-student spending of $21,662, the school provides a resource-rich environment that supports its strong results.

While Seventh District is a rising star—climbing from the 82nd to the 94th percentile in state rankings over the last five years—it has not yet fully returned to its pre-pandemic peak. A notable area for growth is 4th-grade math proficiency (57.4%), which dips compared to 3rd (78.6%) and 5th grades (72.7%). This pattern is seen at other schools like Prettyboy Elementary, but it represents a targeted opportunity for the school to ensure consistent excellence across all grades. Overall, Seventh District offers an outstanding education with a powerful combination of high test scores, low absenteeism, and small class sizes.
