Summary:
Zip code 21767 is home to a single school, Maugansville Elementary School, a public school serving grades Pre-K through 5th grade with 698 students in the Washington County Public Schools district.
Maugansville Elementary shows a mixed performance profile. The school’s 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 55.8% is a clear strength, exceeding both the district (53.7%) and state (50.4%) averages. However, a significant concern is the sharp decline in math proficiency as students progress, with 5th-grade math proficiency dropping to just 15.3%, far below the state average of 30.2%. Overall, the school’s all-grades math proficiency is 26.6% and English Language Arts proficiency is 46.4%, both below district averages. The school spends $15,965 per student and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7:1. Chronic absenteeism is a relative bright spot at 24.5%, notably lower than the district average of 29.0%, despite 60.17% of students being economically disadvantaged.
The school’s state ranking has declined from the 52nd percentile (3 stars) in the previous year to the 46th percentile (2 stars) for the 2025-2026 school year. This drop is driven by a year-over-year decline in math proficiency from 32.2% to 26.6%. The most compelling takeaway is the stark contrast between strong early literacy and the steep academic declines in upper elementary grades, particularly in math and science (5th-grade science proficiency is 23.9% vs. the state’s 32.4%). This suggests a critical need to focus resources on upper-grade instruction to prevent cumulative learning gaps from widening.
