Severn is served by Anne Arundel County Public Schools, including Severn Run High School (opened 2024, 1,608 students for 2024-2025) and Meade Senior High School, located directly at Fort Meade.
A real, disclosed tension in school-quality data
Some sources characterize Severn's public schools as above average, while a separately cited figure gave Severn schools an overall D SchoolGrade, with 27% actual proficiency against a 34% projected figure -- this record states both findings honestly.
A genuinely diverse, military/federal-family-adjacent community
Severn's real, disclosed demographic diversity (no single majority racial/ethnic group) and Fort Meade adjacency shape a distinctly military- and federal-employment-adjacent family community.

- A real, disclosed tension exists between "above average" school characterizations and a separately cited D SchoolGrade.
