For the fifth year in a row Maryland ranked top in Education Week’s annual “Quality Counts” report card of the schools across America.

“Maryland bested all others for the fifth year in a row, scoring a B-plus,” reported Joy Resmovits of the Huffington Post.

“Now there is even more reason to rent an apartment in Lexington Park, Maryland,” adds Joseph Coupal, blogger for Abberly Crest Apartment Homes.

Right he is. The St. Mary’s County school district serving Lexington Park consistently places high in state rankings in this top ranked state.

The national report card measures scores of metrics, “from school finance to environment to grades to equity,” according to Ms. Resmovits. “It takes into account the connections between school and positive life outcomes.”

Mr. Coupal reported Maryland’simplementation of minimum requirements for high school graduation and the P-20 Leadership Council to ensure graduating students are prepared for college,” were among the policy strides giving the state its higher score on the index.

The impact of Naval Air Station Patuxent River’s cutting-edge, high-tech industry is particularly apparent in local STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programming.

Also in Lexington Park the public school system operates a public charter school and a number of green schools.

Education has played an important part in St. Mary’s County since its founding in 1634 on the premise of religious tolerance. The state was founded by Catholics in search of religious tolerance, and the accompanying priest with the first arrivals was Father Andrew White. He was a  Jesuit, an order known for work in advancing education. These earliest efforts are still apparent in a significant network of Catholic grade schools through high school opportunities in the area.
