Best Public Schools in Zip Code 21084

Summary:

The 21084 zip code area in Maryland is home to two elementary schools: Jarrettsville Elementary and North Bend Elementary. Jarrettsville Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 100 elementary schools in Maryland and significantly outpacing both the Harford County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in academic proficiency rates.

Jarrettsville Elementary boasts impressive proficiency rates, with 69.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60.7% proficient or better in math, compared to the district and state averages of around 50% and 25%, respectively. In contrast, while North Bend Elementary also performs better than the district and state, its academic achievements are not as standout as Jarrettsville's. North Bend's statewide rankings have been in the 100-200 range, and its proficiency rates, while still above average, are not as high as Jarrettsville's.

The data also reveals some interesting differences between the two schools. Jarrettsville Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more affluent student population, while North Bend Elementary spends significantly more per student. These factors, along with the schools' racial makeup and student-teacher ratios, provide valuable insights into the educational landscape of the 21084 zip code area and warrant further investigation to understand the drivers of the performance gap between the two schools.
