Five-Star School in a Title I Zone | Annapolis News

Woodbridge Elementary in Baltimore County is rewriting the script for Title I schools—becoming the only one in Maryland to earn a five-star academic rating for two straight years. Parents are relocating their kids here, drawn by a culture of relentless discipline, clear expectations, and unwavering focus on student achievement. Principal Lori Phelps, who’s led the school for 13 years, starts at 6 AM and stays until 6 PM, obsessively tracking student data to nip problems in the bud. With a zero-tolerance policy for misbehavior and teachers laser-focused on instruction, Woodbridge proves that excellence isn’t luck—it’s built through grit, consistency, and a refusal to accept anything less. One mom, Tiesha Parham, even moved from Baltimore City for her daughter’s education, proudly wearing a “Five Star” shirt to celebrate the school’s triumph.
