Summary:
Zip code 21638, serving the Grasonville area, is home to a single school: Grasonville Elementary School, a public school within the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district that serves grades PK through 5 with 472 students.
Grasonville Elementary School is a standout in mathematics, significantly outperforming both its district and the state. For the 2025-2026 school year, the school achieved a 42.9% proficiency rate in math, compared to 31.7% for the district and 27.1% for Maryland. Its 5th-grade cohort is particularly strong, leading in math (47%), English Language Arts (56.7%), and science (38.2%). However, the school shows a notable split in performance: while it excels in math and science, its overall English Language Arts proficiency of 50.5% falls below the district average of 57.9% and is slightly under the state average. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 and spends $20,371 per student, which is relatively high, yet this investment does not fully translate to above-average ELA scores. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 21.3% of students chronically absent, though this is slightly better than the district's 22.4% rate.
Grade-level performance is not uniform, with 4th graders showing a dip in math proficiency (37.8%) compared to 3rd (45.1%) and 5th graders (47%). The school's state ranking has fluctuated, currently sitting at the 65th percentile (301st out of 864 schools) after a previous high of the 77th percentile in 2023-2024. With a free/reduced lunch rate of 46.4%, the school serves a diverse economic population. Overall, Grasonville Elementary School offers strong math and science instruction, but families should note the ELA gap and the need for targeted support in reading and writing, as well as efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism.
