Summary

Plum Point Elementary in Huntingtown, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 568 students in grades PK through 5 within the highly-rated Calvert County Public Schools district, which ranks 3rd in Maryland. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past five years, placing it in the 76th percentile among Maryland elementary schools.

Plum Point’s standout strength is its exceptional mathematics performance, consistently scoring 12 to 15 percentage points higher than the district average—a remarkable 49.8% proficiency rate in 2025-2026 compared to the district’s 37.9%. This math focus makes it a powerhouse among nearby schools, outperforming St Leonard Elementary (39.2%) and Barstow Elementary (46.2%), while rivaling top performers like Mount Harmony Elementary. However, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency (62.2%) falls slightly below the district average (66.6%), creating an unusual profile where math outshines reading. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 9.5%—nearly half the district average of 17.3%—and has shown dramatic improvement from a post-pandemic high of 33.6% in 2021-2022. This attendance rate is among the best in the area, rivaled only by Sunderland Elementary (9.8%).

With only 21.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, Plum Point serves a relatively affluent community, which supports its strong academic outcomes. Yet, the school uses its resources efficiently, spending $17,414 per student in 2023-2024—moderate compared to peers—while achieving top-tier math results. One area for attention is a "5th grade slump" in math, where proficiency drops from 58.7% in 4th grade to 43.2% in 5th grade, suggesting the transition to complex concepts like fractions and pre-algebra is a challenge. Compared to its closest neighbor, Huntingtown Elementary (2.8 miles away), which has higher ELA scores (67.1%) and a higher state rank (85th percentile), Plum Point’s unique value lies in its combination of elite math performance and exceptional attendance, making it a standout choice for families prioritizing these metrics.
