An overview of Severn public schools
The federal directory lists 6 public schools in Severn, MD: 4 elementary, 2 high. The 6 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 3,632 students, an average of 605 per school. The largest campus is Severn Run High School (1,608 students), and the largest elementary school is Ridgeway Elementary (551).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 13.7:1, similar to the statewide school median of 14.2:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 44% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
