Mutual Elementary is a fantastic school. The teachers are top notch and I couldn't even begin to tell you how great the staff is. My son had a hard time transitioning into this school initially b/c he started here at Mutual in the 5th grade. Everyone was understanding and accommodating to his situation that it truly warms my heart. I only wish that he had been at this school since kindergarten. You should consider yourself lucky if you live in the Mutual school district! I am very excited that my 2 younger children will be attending this school from the start. Can't say enough about how great this school is!

I love Mutual. They provide a great start with wonderful teachers. I wish the security of the school was tighter, but I wish that with all schools.

This school is very advanced and a great place for your child to learn from. They have plenty of activities for the children and there is a lot of parental involvement. This is a great school for your child to learn.

New to the neighborhood, my child started Mutual in 2002. This is a wonderful school with a caring and friendly staff. Teachers make it fun to learn so the kids enjoy coming to school. I've seen test scores improve, in my child, since switching schools. Highly recommended.

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.
