Rockburn Elementary

Rockburn Elementary serves 672 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 5 in Elkridge, Maryland. It earns a composite score of 9.4/10 — rated Exceptional — with academic performance at 9.5 and student growth at 9.2. Both figures rank among the strongest elementary results in the state.

The statewide standing confirms what the scores suggest. Rockburn sits at #18 out of 1,363 public schools in Maryland, outperforming 99% of schools across the state. Narrowed to elementary schools alone, it holds the same position: #18 of 882.

Within Elkridge, it ranks first among all 6 public schools. That kind of cross-cut consistency — top 1% statewide, first locally — points to sustained execution, not a one-metric spike. At 672 students and a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, Rockburn runs at a size where classrooms stay manageable and staff capacity holds up across every grade level.

As a regular public school with no selective admissions process, families in the attendance zone enroll through standard district channels. There is no lottery, no application, and no magnet designation standing between a local family and one of Maryland's top-performing elementary programs.
