Summary

Plum Point Middle in Huntingtown, MD, is a high-performing school serving 619 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-ranked Calvert County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its exceptional advanced math program and remarkable support for students from low-income backgrounds.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its advanced math pipeline. In the 2025-2026 school year, a stunning 86.7% of students taking the Geometry End-of-Course exam were proficient, far outpacing the district average of 36.5% and the state average of 44.5%. This is a massive advantage for families seeking a strong STEM pathway, especially when compared to nearby high-performing peers like Northern Middle (91.3% proficient) and Windy Hill Middle (70%). Plum Point also excels at serving its students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide for this subgroup. This suggests the school has highly effective support systems in place. Additionally, the school achieves these results with notable spending efficiency, spending $16,466 per student—significantly less than lower-performing schools in the district like Mill Creek Middle ($20,256) and Southern Middle ($20,483).

While Plum Point is a top-tier school overall, there are areas for families to consider. The school's grade-level performance is strong but uneven, with 7th graders excelling in English Language Arts (77.2% proficient) and math (42.9% proficient), while 8th-grade math dips to 27.3% proficient (though still well above the district's 15.9%). A persistent concern is chronic absenteeism, which has been higher than the district average for three years, reaching 19.0% in 2024-2025. This is notably higher than at Northern Middle (10.8%) and Windy Hill Middle (14.9%), and it's something to watch as it could impact long-term academic growth.
