Summary

Bayside Elementary School in Stevensville, MD, serves 368 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its exceptional math performance and efficient spending compared to nearby schools.

Bayside’s biggest strength is math: 51.9% of students are proficient, nearly double the state average of 27.1% and far higher than schools like Georgetown East Elementary (6.1%) across the bay in Anne Arundel County Public Schools. English Language Arts scores are also strong at 60.3% proficient, though this has dipped slightly in recent years. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, better than the district average of 22.4% and its nearby peer Grasonville Elementary School (21.3%). Notably, Bayside achieves these results while spending $17,062 per student—less than Grasonville ($20,371) and far less than many lower-performing Anne Arundel schools, which spend up to $36,018 per student. This efficiency suggests effective resource use.

Bayside shares a campus with Kent Island Elementary School (grades PK-2), creating a natural feeder pattern. While Bayside has a solid 4-star rating, its state ranking has slipped from the 86th to the 75th percentile over five years, partly due to a slight decline in ELA scores. The school also has room to improve in serving specific student groups, such as Multi-racial and Special Education students, where performance gaps exist. Overall, Bayside is a high-performing, efficient school with a strong math focus, but it faces challenges in maintaining its upward trajectory and ensuring equity for all learners.
