Summary

Jarrettsville Elementary is a K-5 school in Jarrettsville, MD, serving 467 students as part of the Harford County Public Schools district, and it consistently ranks among the top 15% of elementary schools in Maryland.

Jarrettsville Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where 65.4% of students are proficient—more than double the district and state averages. This strength is matched by strong English Language Arts (75.1% proficiency) and science scores, making it a well-rounded school. What makes this even more impressive is that the school achieves these top-tier results while spending less per student ($16,174) than many high-performing peers, such as Forest Hill Elementary ($18,918) and Forest Lakes Elementary ($18,990). The school also has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9%, less than half the district average, indicating strong student and family engagement. While nearby schools like Hickory Elementary and Red Pump Elementary School also perform well, Jarrettsville’s math scores are a clear standout.

One interesting finding is that Jarrettsville is part of a higher-ranked district (11th out of 25 in Maryland), while two nearby Baltimore County schools, Jacksonville Elementary and Carroll Manor Elementary, are exceptional outliers within a lower-performing district (18th out of 25). Additionally, while overall math performance is stellar, 5th-grade math proficiency (56.8%) is notably lower than 3rd-grade (68.8%) and 4th-grade (71.1%) proficiency, a pattern seen in many nearby schools. The school has also shown remarkable post-pandemic recovery, with chronic absenteeism dropping from a high of 17.2% in 2021-2022 to 8.9% in 2024-2025, reflecting effective strategies to re-engage students and families.
