Prettyboy Elementary consistently outperforms the Baltimore County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency.

Prettyboy Elementary is a high-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic success is reflected in its strong test scores, with 62.1% of students proficient or better in MCAP/English Language Arts and 47.2% proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. Prettyboy Elementary also excels in 5th-grade Science proficiency, with 45.7% of students meeting or exceeding standards.

The school's success can be attributed to its access to significant resources and funding, with a per-student spending of $15,169, which is higher than the state average. Prettyboy Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1, suggesting a favorable learning environment. However, the school's predominantly White student population (91.75%) raises questions about diversity and inclusiveness, and its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (12.25%) indicates it serves a relatively affluent community, which may impact the school's resources and performance compared to schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage.
