Best Public Schools in Lutherville, MD

Summary:

The city of Lutherville, Maryland is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Hampton Elementary and Lutherville Laboratory) and one middle school (Ridgely Middle). Among these institutions, Ridgely Middle stands out as the top-performing school, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in Maryland and significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Ridgely Middle has earned 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, with proficiency rates that far exceed the Baltimore County and Maryland averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Algebra I, and 8th grade Science. In contrast, while the two elementary schools also perform well above their district and state averages, they do not quite reach the same level of excellence as Ridgely Middle.

The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic status across the three schools, as evidenced by the differences in free/reduced lunch rates. Additionally, there are variations in per-student spending, with Lutherville Laboratory having the highest spending at $19,305 per student. The student-teacher ratios also differ, with Lutherville Laboratory having the lowest ratio at 12.8:1, which may contribute to its strong academic performance relative to the other elementary school.
