Among the schools in the 21076 zip code, Chesapeake Science Point stands out as the highest performing, with significantly higher test scores compared to county and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Chesapeake Science Point also has lower chronic absenteeism and spends more per student than the other schools in the area. In contrast, the two elementary schools - Hanover Hills Elementary and Hebron-Harman Elementary - have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to state and county averages.

The data also reveals a correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower test scores, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, Hebron-Harman Elementary and Thomas Viaduct Middle, also having the lowest test proficiency rates. However, higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to higher performance, as seen with the lower-performing elementary schools.
