Summary

Sudlersville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Sudlersville, Maryland, with 315 students enrolled. The school is part of the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $21,794 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.9, Sudlersville Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 32.9%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Centreville Elementary (22.9%) and Church Hill Elementary (22.9%), as well as the state average. Additionally, Sudlersville Elementary's test scores on the MCAP assessments are consistently lower than the Queen Anne's County and Maryland state averages across both math and English language arts.

Sudlersville Elementary's performance has also declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 435th out of 862 Maryland elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 613th out of 865 in 2024-2025, and its star rating dropping from 2 to 1. The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.73% to 73.33%, may contribute to these challenges. While the school's resources and staffing ratios are relatively strong, addressing the root causes of these issues will be crucial for Sudlersville Elementary to improve and better serve its community.
