Summary

Sudlersville Elementary School is a small, rural school in Sudlersville, MD, serving 315 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade as part of the high-performing Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, which ranks 6th in the state.

Despite being in a top-tier district, Sudlersville Elementary faces significant challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. The school has a very high rate of economic disadvantage, with 69.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch—nearly double the rates at Centreville Elementary School (34.9%) and Kennard Elementary School (35.6%). Academic proficiency is a critical concern: in English Language Arts, only 29.5% of Sudlersville students are proficient, compared to 55.2% at Church Hill Elementary School and 46.5% at Kennard Elementary. Math proficiency (25.6%) also trails behind these in-district peers. Interestingly, the school spends a very high amount per student ($21,794), significantly more than higher-performing schools like Centreville ($15,910) and Kennard ($15,949), suggesting that resources are being directed toward addressing non-academic needs related to poverty rather than directly boosting test scores.

There are some positive signs, however. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 39.5% in 2021-2022 to 16.8% in 2024-2025, indicating that efforts to get students back in the classroom are working. This improvement could be a leading indicator for future academic gains. The school's performance is more aligned with high-poverty schools in neighboring districts, such as Greensboro Elementary School (76.7% free/reduced lunch) and H. H. Garnett Elementary (74.5%), than with its more affluent in-district peers. This underscores how local economic factors can override district-level advantages, making Sudlersville a school where targeted support and continued focus on attendance are key to turning the tide.
