This highly-ranked school, serving grades K-5, has consistently outperformed the Calvert County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in academic proficiency, with impressive results in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments.

Sunderland Elementary's academic excellence is reflected in its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking as the 86th best elementary school in Maryland for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's student population is relatively diverse, with a majority of white students (71.71%) and a mix of African American (12.29%), Hispanic (7.29%), and Asian (1%) students. Additionally, the school's low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (20.86%) suggests a relatively affluent student body.

Sunderland Elementary's strong performance is likely attributed to its focus on small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.2, and its higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,515. These resources and the school's commitment to continuous improvement, as evidenced by its rising statewide ranking, contribute to the exceptional educational experience it provides to its students.
