Summary

Timonium Elementary is a high-performing K-5 school in Timonium, MD, serving 445 students within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for every year on record since 2015-2016.

Timonium Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with test scores dramatically higher than district and state averages. For example, in mathematics, 69.2% of students are proficient compared to the district average of 21.9%, and in English Language Arts, 78.4% are proficient versus the district's 46.1%. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.9%, which is over four times lower than the district average of 25.6% and the lowest among nearby schools like Riderwood Elementary (7.2%) and Pinewood Elementary (6.9%). This strong attendance is a key factor in its consistent top-tier ranking, currently 36th out of 864 schools statewide. While its performance is nearly identical to West Towson Elementary, it significantly outperforms other nearby schools like Hampton Elementary and Lutherville Laboratory.

An interesting finding is that Timonium spends $19,513 per student with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4:1, yet nearby Pinewood Elementary achieves slightly higher test scores with less spending ($16,645 per student) and larger class sizes (17.9:1). Additionally, while Timonium's math scores are very high in 3rd and 4th grades, they drop significantly in 5th grade to 53.3%, suggesting a potential area for targeted support. The school is particularly effective for its Asian student population, which ranked 4th out of 128 schools statewide in 2020-2021.

Bullying is rampant at this school. Principal is the head bully and protects her numbers by burying the reports and by ignoring county rules and making her own. My son has been bullied at this school repeatedly and the school just ignores it, makes excuses for the bully, makes the victim feel bad for reporting and praises the bully. NOT A GOOD SCHOOL. The school only cares about the naturally smart kids so if your child needs a little help or a lot of help, Timonium is NOT the school for you. They only care about how their numbers look and could care less about trouble and hope it goes away. Fox45 Project Baltimore NEEDS to doa report on this school!!! Close Quote

Timonium Elementary was a wonderful experience for me. Every year I go back and see my teachers. I never had a teacher whom I didn't love. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the curriculum is exquisite. Close Quote
