About Darlington Elementary School
 |
|
Darlington Elementary is located on
the northeastern fringe of Harford
County, situated in a rural
community by the Susquehanna River.
The school has approximately 130
students from K-5 and two primary
autistic classes. Our staff,
parents, and grandparents provide a
supportive, challenging, and
enjoyable school environment for
all. Our highly accomplished staff
combined with children who are ready
to learn, an active PTA, and a
strong volunteer program result in
quality learning opportunities for
every child. DES offers reading
intervention, a school-wide
enrichment program, and special
education services to meet the needs
of all children. We achieved great
gains in mathematics and reading,
achieving one of the highest
statuses in the county on the 2007
Maryland School Assessment. Central
to our school’s success is our staff
and community’s commitment to
teaching and learning. The staff has
developed a school improvement plan
that emphasizes students’
achievement. Ongoing staff
development assists us in reaching
these goals. There is a passion for
learning and teaching at Darlington.
We are truly proud of our warm and
welcoming atmosphere where adults
and children truly care about each
other and have fun while learning.
We live by our school motto
“Preserving our heritage and
enriching our future.” Brenda Taylor
Principal

Community Involvement
 |
|
Darlington Elementary School has an
active PTA. Our parents and
grandparents take an active role in
the education of our students by
volunteering many hours to help
raise the children's academic
successes. We established various
activities to give the community an
opportunity to visit the school.
From this, some may volunteer to
read or assist in any of the
numerous activities we have each
year.
