ELLICOTT CITY, MD — While Maryland leaders have sparred over school start times and overall funding for school budgets, the state continues to have a reputation of supporting its public school systems. The state has some great schools, from the elementary level up to high school and college years. Niche.com recently released its ranking of the top elementary schools in Maryland.

Similar to the ranking of the state's best high schools, Howard County and Montgomery County schools ruled the top of the list. Howard County has the top elementary school in the state and three of the top four. Montgomery County has six of the top 10 elementary public schools in the state.

Niche, a website for researching schools, said, "The 2019 Best Public Elementary Schools ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and millions of reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Ranking factors include state test scores, student-teacher ratio, student diversity, teacher quality, grade school ratings, and the overall quality of the school district.
