Route 40 Elementry is a second home for our kids. They feel secure and nurtured mentally and acedemically. The staff are well rounded and excited to see the children learn and excell. All programs provided for the kids are well thought out and parental participation is encouraged. Mr Delaney, the principle, takes great care of his charges and is respected for his kindness and smooth sailing of this school.

RT 40 Elementary...there's no place like it. We feel blessed our boys go there. They involve parents on a day to day basis and always have great activities for the kids during and after school. The academic side is just as amazing. We am very impressed by this school.

Route 40 School has done wonders for my daughter and her disabilities. We as parents could never imagine her doing any better any where else. Mr. Delaney is one of the biggest influences to the school and how it is run. We really appericate all that the school had done for us and our family.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Maryland used the Maryland School Assessment (MSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and grades 5 and 8 in science. The MSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
