Summary

Grasonville Elementary School in Grasonville, MD, serves 472 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the high-performing Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, which ranks 6th out of 25 districts in Maryland.

Grasonville Elementary stands out as a true "math powerhouse," consistently outperforming both its district and the state in mathematics. For the 2025-2026 school year, 42.9% of students were proficient in math, compared to 31.7% for the district and 27.1% for the state. This is more than double the math proficiency rate at nearby Easton Elementary (19.1%). The school is exceptionally effective with its economically disadvantaged students—46.4% of students receive free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than most in-district peers like Matapeake Elementary (25.21%) and Bayside Elementary (29.89%). In the 2020-2021 school year, Grasonville ranked 10th out of 546 schools statewide for its effectiveness with low socio-economic status students, a remarkable achievement that shows the school is closing achievement gaps. The school also invests more per student ($20,371) than many nearby schools, including Centreville Elementary ($15,910) and Kennard Elementary ($15,949).

However, Grasonville faces some challenges. While it excels in math, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency of 50.5% falls below the district average (57.9%) and just barely meets the state average (51.7%). Chronic absenteeism is a persistent concern at 21.3%, nearly double that of high-performing peers like Cape St. Claire Elementary (10.4%). The school's state ranking has also declined for three consecutive years, dropping from the 84th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 65th percentile for 2025-2026. Despite this, Grasonville's ability to achieve strong math results with a higher-needs population makes it a compelling choice for families, especially when compared to schools like Easton Elementary, which serves a similar proportion of low-SES students but has dramatically lower proficiency rates in both math and ELA.
