Summary:
Zip code 21773 in Myersville, Maryland, is served by two high-performing elementary schools, Myersville Elementary and Wolfsville Elementary, both part of the Frederick County Public Schools district, which ranks in the top 20% of Maryland districts.
Both schools are elite performers, ranking in the top 10% of all Maryland elementary schools, but they achieve this through different strengths. Myersville Elementary is the larger school (402 students) and excels in math and science, with a 64.3% math proficiency rate and a 60.0% science proficiency rate, both well above state averages. In contrast, Wolfsville Elementary is a smaller school (163 students) that stands out as an English Language Arts powerhouse, achieving an 83.6% ELA proficiency rate—significantly higher than Myersville’s 76.3%. Wolfsville also has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.5:1) and higher per-student spending ($22,498), reflecting a resource-intensive model that supports its higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (34.97% free/reduced lunch).
Key shared strengths include remarkably low chronic absenteeism rates (around 10%), which are well below the district average of 16.7%, indicating strong student and family engagement. While Myersville Elementary shows consistent math performance across all grades, Wolfsville Elementary shows a notable decline in math from 3rd grade (77.3%) to 5th grade (47.4%), suggesting a need for targeted upper-grade math support. Overall, families in this area have access to two excellent schools that complement each other: Myersville for its consistent STEM strength and Wolfsville for its exceptional literacy outcomes and individualized attention.
