Summary

Stoneleigh Elementary is a high-performing K-5 public school in the Baltimore County Public Schools district, serving 645 students and consistently ranking in the top 10% of Maryland elementary schools for nearly a decade. The school stands out dramatically from nearby schools, with math proficiency rates nearly three times higher than the district average and English Language Arts scores 1.6 times higher. Stoneleigh also boasts exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 10.7%, compared to the district average of 25.6%, and schools like Yorkwood Elementary which struggle with rates over 54%.

While Stoneleigh is an excellent choice, it operates in the shadow of an elite neighbor: Rodgers Forge Elementary, located less than a mile away, ranks 6th in the state and outperforms Stoneleigh in every subject. The data also reveals a sharp divide between school districts in the area. Stoneleigh and other Baltimore County Public Schools like Cromwell Valley Elementary Regional Magnet are top-tier, while schools just a mile or two away in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Govans Elementary and Leith Walk Elementary/Middle, are among the lowest-performing in the state.

Stoneleigh is a model of efficiency, spending significantly less per student than nearby schools like Pleasant Plains Elementary and Halstead Academy while achieving far better academic results. The school is exceptionally effective for White students, male students, and special education students, but shows only moderate effectiveness for low socioeconomic status students, suggesting an area for growth. Overall, Stoneleigh’s consistent top-10% ranking and strong, stable culture make it a reliable choice for families seeking a high-quality elementary education in the Baltimore area.
