Hereford Middle has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in Maryland, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 and 2021-2022 school years.

Hereford Middle's academic excellence is evident in its test scores, which significantly outperform the Baltimore County Public Schools and Maryland state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (12.4%), suggesting a student population from higher socioeconomic backgrounds. With a spending per student of $13,956 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1, Hereford Middle appears to have access to significant resources and funding, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

While Hereford Middle's consistent high performance and academic achievements are impressive, the school's demographic composition, with a predominantly White student population, raises questions about diversity and inclusiveness. Further analysis of the school's strategies for supporting diverse learners and ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities could provide additional insights into the factors contributing to its success.
