Summary

Huntingtown Elementary is a mid-sized school in Huntingtown, MD, serving 475 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-rated Calvert County Public Schools district, which ranks 3rd in Maryland. The school has a strong academic reputation, consistently ranking in the top 20% of elementary schools in the state over the past decade, with a relatively low rate of economic disadvantage (about 26% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch).

Huntingtown Elementary is a standout performer in Mathematics, with 53.8% of students proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—significantly higher than the district average of 37.9% and nearly double the state average of 27.1%. This performance has been consistent over the past four years, hovering around 53-55%. The school also excels in 5th Grade Science, where 58.8% of students were proficient, far exceeding the district (44.4%) and state (32.4%) averages. However, its English Language Arts (ELA) performance, while still strong at 67.1% proficiency, is only slightly above the district average of 66.6%, creating a "Math vs. ELA" paradox that suggests an opportunity to replicate math success in literacy. Nearby Sunderland Elementary outperforms Huntingtown in nearly every subject, especially ELA (79.1% vs. 67.1%), and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (9.8% vs. 12.8%).

Huntingtown Elementary invests significantly in its students, spending $18,459 per student in 2023-2024, higher than most nearby Calvert County schools like Mount Harmony Elementary ($15,570) and Sunderland ($16,390). The school has shown a remarkable recovery from pandemic-era chronic absenteeism, dropping from 31.8% in 2021-2022 to 12.8% over three years, now well below the district average of 17.3%. While Huntingtown's most recent state ranking of 132nd (85th percentile) represents a slight decline from its peak of 85th (90th percentile) in 2023-2024, it remains a top-tier performer. Nearby schools like Mount Harmony (69th, 92nd percentile) and Sunderland (45th, 95th percentile) have surged ahead, but Huntingtown's consistent math and science excellence, combined with higher per-student spending, make it a strong choice for families in the area.
