Calvert County Public Schools

The Calvert County Public Schools district in Maryland consists of 23 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from diverse backgrounds across the county.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performers, with Mount Harmony Elementary and Huntingtown Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. At the middle school level, Windy Hill Middle and Northern Middle are exceptional performers, with high proficiency rates in English language arts and math that exceed the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools struggling, particularly in math. There appears to be a correlation between higher rates of economic disadvantage, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and lower academic achievement. The district's alternative school, Calvert Country School, stands out with significantly higher per-student spending, suggesting a focus on providing specialized resources and support for its students.
