Summary

Carroll Manor Elementary in Adamstown, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 530 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the highly-rated Frederick County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a strong, above-average option for families in the area.

Carroll Manor’s greatest strength is its exceptional mathematics program. In the most recent school year, 46.6% of all students were proficient in math—a rate that is 20% higher than the district average and an impressive 72% higher than the state average. This math performance far exceeds nearby schools like Hillcrest Elementary (19.1%) and Lincoln Elementary (30.5%). The school also builds a strong foundation early on, with 61.1% of 3rd graders proficient in math. However, the school shows a pattern of declining performance in the upper grades, with 5th-grade math proficiency dropping to 34.7%, suggesting a challenge in transitioning students to more complex problem-solving. Additionally, while math is a clear standout, the school’s English Language Arts proficiency (63.9%) is essentially tied with the district average, indicating room for growth in literacy instruction.

Carroll Manor serves a relatively low-poverty population, with only 30.9% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch—significantly lower than many nearby city schools like Hillcrest (91.1%) and Lincoln (81.0%). This demographic advantage helps the school achieve strong results with efficient spending ($19,395 per student), compared to higher-poverty schools that spend more. While not a top-tier school like Sugarloaf Elementary (91st percentile) or Urbana Elementary (88th percentile), Carroll Manor is a high-quality option that clearly outperforms the cluster of city schools to the north. One area of concern is its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which is higher than the district average (16.7%) and much higher than top-performing peers like Sugarloaf (6.0%).
