Summary:
The 21017 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Church Creek Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 725 students. The school is part of the Harford County Public Schools district, which is ranked 9 out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating.
Church Creek Elementary has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in the current and upcoming school years. The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally higher than the Harford County and Maryland state averages, particularly in the lower grades. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may impact student learning and achievement.
Despite these challenges, Church Creek Elementary has a diverse student population, with a significant representation of African American (42.9%) and White (31.45%) students, as well as smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school's relatively high spending per student ($12,847) may be an effort to address the needs of this diverse student body and support their academic success. Overall, Church Creek Elementary appears to be a moderately performing school that is making progress, but may need to focus on improving its performance in the upper grades to ensure all students are meeting their full potential.
