Lutherville is one of the best public elementary schools in the state. [URL]http://www.msp.msde.state.md.us/Assessments.aspx?K=030803&WDATA=School[/URL] Strong STEM program, after school activities, highly-coveted magnet school. This is a great school where the teachers, staff and administrators really care and do their best to help your child succeed.

My dauther attends the special education kindergarten class here and I would do anything if she could continue with a class like this for her continuing grades. Lutherville is AMAZING! I'm sad I don't live in the district and am only hoping my kids will be able to get in via the magnet program.

My daughter entered this schools as a Magnet student in kindergarden. She is now in 4th grade and this school has been amazing! Not only do the teachers and staff create an outstanding learning environment, they also help the kids to feel special and make learning enjoyable. This is hands down the best public school ever.

We are in the magnet part of this school and although we are not in the neighborhood we feel very welcomed. The teachers care very much about all the students. My son loves his school.

We moved our family to this area in order to be in a top rated school disttict. To date, we have not been disappointed with Lutherville Lab. There is a very strong committment to learning, family involvement, and getting to know each student individually. It is wonderful to have a real 'neighborhood' feel to the school. The science, technology, and math programs are top-notch, as well as solid reading and language arts programs. The school's multi-cultural programs are wonderful as are the family involved art night, ice cream social, and writer's workshop to name a few. We look forward to being a part of the Lutherville family for many years to come.

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.
