Summary

Shiloh Middle in Hampstead, MD, is a public school serving 631 students in grades 6-8 as part of the highly-rated Carroll County Public Schools district, which ranks 2nd out of 25 districts in Maryland. The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, consistently placing in the top 20-30% of Maryland middle schools, with a peak 5-star rating and 92nd percentile rank in the 2018-2019 school year.

One of Shiloh Middle's standout strengths is its exceptional performance in advanced mathematics, particularly Algebra I. In the 2025-2026 school year, 62.5% of its students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, compared to just 35.1% district-wide and 21.3% statewide—a massive 27.4 percentage point advantage over the district average. This performance surpasses nearby Carroll County peers like Oklahoma Road Middle (66.5%) and Sykesville Middle (58%). However, the school shows a unique "math gap" in 8th-grade general mathematics, where only 22.9% of students were proficient—lower than the district average of 14.2% but higher than the state average of 9.6%. This suggests Shiloh successfully channels many high-achieving 8th graders into Algebra I, leaving a smaller cohort in general math. The school also excels at serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with these students ranking in the 90th percentile statewide (27th out of 273 schools) in 2020-2021, demonstrating a strong commitment to closing achievement gaps.

Shiloh Middle has shown remarkable recovery from pandemic-era challenges, with chronic absenteeism dropping from a peak of 31.7% in 2021-2022 to 17.2% in 2024-2025—now below the district average of 19.5% and lower than nearby Westminster East Middle (23.7%) and Westminster West Middle (24.2%). The school's performance starkly contrasts with neighboring Baltimore County Public Schools peers like Franklin Middle and Deer Park Middle Magnet School, where overall math proficiency is over five times lower. While Shiloh's overall state ranking has slightly declined from its pre-pandemic peak, it remains a strong, resilient school with effective programs for advanced learners and students from all backgrounds.
