Summary

Wellwood International School is a public elementary and middle school in Pikesville, MD, serving 316 students from pre-kindergarten through 7th grade within the Baltimore County Public Schools district. The school stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance, with 37.2% of students proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year—a rate 70% higher than the district average of 21.9% and significantly above the state average of 27.1%. This strength is consistent across grades, with 3rd graders (46.8%) and 4th graders (39.4%) far outpacing their peers at nearby schools like Bedford Elementary (28.7%) and Milbrook Elementary (23.5%).

Wellwood’s unique grade span (PK-7) offers families a more comprehensive option than most nearby elementary schools, which typically end at 5th grade, allowing students to stay in a familiar environment through the critical middle school transition years. The school is on a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 35th percentile in state rankings in 2021-2022 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026, while some neighbors like Summit Park Elementary have declined from the 81st to the 52nd percentile over the same period. Despite serving a population where over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, Wellwood has managed to keep chronic absenteeism low at 15.0%—nearly half the district average of 25.6%—indicating a positive school culture and effective family engagement.

However, the school’s academic profile is uneven. While it excels in math, only 21.4% of 5th graders were proficient in science in 2025-2026, well below the district (31%) and state (32.4%) averages. Additionally, subgroup data from 2020-2021 shows significant disparities, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of the state for African American students, Special Education students, and low-income students. Closing these achievement gaps will be crucial for Wellwood’s long-term success, but its strong math performance and improving overall trajectory make it a compelling choice for families in the area.
