Summary

Elkridge Elementary is a mid-sized school in Elkridge, MD, serving 798 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the high-performing Howard County Public Schools district. While the school holds a consistent 3-star rating and ranks in the 61st percentile statewide, it stands out for its exceptional work with specific student groups, particularly Hispanic and low-income students, who achieve at levels far above the state average.

One of the most notable strengths of Elkridge Elementary is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the 89th percentile for this group—a significant achievement given that nearly 46% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This "value-add" is a powerful indicator that the school's programs and teaching are especially effective at closing achievement gaps. However, the school faces challenges in math proficiency, which at 37.7% trails the district average and is nearly half the rate of top-performing neighbors like Rockburn Elementary (66.6%) and Ilchester Elementary (61.3%). Chronic absenteeism, while improving to 17.3%, remains higher than these nearby schools and is an area of continued focus.

Compared to its Howard County peers, Elkridge is a solid but less academically intense option, more similar in overall rank to Deep Run Elementary and Ducketts Lane Elementary. Yet it significantly outperforms nearby Baltimore County schools like Arbutus Elementary and Halethorpe Elementary, highlighting the strength of the Howard County district. With the lowest per-student spending ($17,789) and highest student-teacher ratio (14:1) among its Howard County neighbors, Elkridge demonstrates that it achieves strong results for many students despite operating with fewer resources per child.
