Fort Meade Public Schools

The Meade Feeder System includes nine elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. These schools belong to the Anne Arundel County School System. Four of the elementary schools, the middle schools and the high school are located on Fort Meade. The remaining five elementary schools are located off-post in the surrounding communities. If you live in Anne Arundel County and desire to register your child in a school in another county, you should contact that county to determine tuition fees.

Physical exams are required for children participating in Youth Services and/or school sport programs. Exams are good for one year. Including a physical exam in medical records will allow immediate participation.

In addition, students in kindergarten, first, second, third, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades, must have proof of a second dose of measles and one dose of mumps immunization to enter school. Students needing these immunizations can "walk-in" to the Kimbrough Immunization Clinic from 7:30-11:30am and 1 -3:30pm Monday-Friday. Immunization records and medical records should be brought to the school.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools offer Special Education Programs for children who are intellectually, emotionally and /or physically challenged. Placement in these programs is made through the School Team at the neighborhood school and then referred to the Admission, Review and Dismissal Committee (ARD) at the County Division of Special Education. Parents of children with special school needs should contact the School Liaison Officer (301) 677-3843 or Army Community Service at (301) 677-5590 or Navy Family Service at (301) 677-6882 prior to contacting the school. This will help provide a smooth transition into the school system.
