Summary

Greensboro Elementary School in Greensboro, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 840 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Caroline County Public Schools district, where a high percentage of families (76.67%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has a clear academic strength in mathematics, consistently outperforming both the district and state averages in recent years. For the 2025-2026 school year, 33.7% of Greensboro students were proficient in math, notably higher than the district average of 23.7% and the state average of 27.1%. This math focus creates an interesting contrast with nearby schools. For example, while Denton Elementary School has a higher English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate (53.4% vs. Greensboro's 45.6%), Greensboro actually surpasses Denton in math (33.7% vs. 32.8%). Compared to its closest geographic neighbor, Ridgely Elementary School, Greensboro performs better in both math and ELA. However, a key challenge is a sharp decline in math proficiency in 5th grade, where only 21.9% of students are proficient—the lowest rate among all Caroline County peers and well below the state average of 30.2%.

While the school has faced high chronic absenteeism, it has shown significant improvement, dropping from a peak of 36.6% during the pandemic to 20.8% in 2024-2025—a rate now better than the district average of 28.0%. Despite high per-student spending ($18,965), the school's ELA scores remain a persistent weakness. For context, nearby schools in the higher-ranked Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, like Kennard Elementary School, serve a more affluent population and achieve higher ELA scores. The standout in the region is Chapel District Elementary in Talbot County Public Schools, which achieves exceptional results in both subjects, serving as a model for what is possible in the area.
