Summary

Norrisville Elementary in White Hall, MD, is a small, high-performing school serving 213 students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, located in the northern part of Harford County. This school stands out for its exceptional mathematics performance, with 59.3% of all students proficient in math—more than double the Harford County Public Schools district average of 28.4% and the state average of 27.1%. Norrisville's 4th-grade math proficiency rate of 72.5% is the highest among nearby schools, including Jarrettsville Elementary and Forest Hill Elementary. While its English Language Arts proficiency of 68.6% is strong, it trails some peers like Youths Benefit Elementary (75.2%) and Forest Hill Elementary (78.3%).

A key advantage of Norrisville is its remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, the smallest among nearby schools, compared to 18.3:1 at Youths Benefit Elementary and 13.9:1 at Seventh District Elementary. This small class size, combined with the highest per-student spending in the district at $21,617, creates a resource-rich environment that allows for more individualized attention. The school also excels in keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.7% in 2024-2025, well below the district's 18.5% and significantly better than the 23.5% district average seen in 2022-2023.

While Norrisville is a standout, it operates in a highly competitive region where schools from both Harford County Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools also perform well. For instance, Sparks Elementary and Seventh District Elementary from Baltimore County rank in the 97th and 94th percentiles, respectively, while Forest Hill Elementary and Jarrettsville Elementary from Harford County rank in the 93rd and 92nd percentiles. Norrisville's state ranking has fluctuated slightly, dropping from a 5-star, 91st percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to a 4-star, 85th percentile ranking in 2025-2026, but it remains a top choice for families seeking a personalized, high-quality education in the White Hall community.
