Summary

Cashell Elementary is a public elementary school in Rockville, Maryland, serving 342 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in Maryland, Cashell consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels.

Cashell Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with a Mathematics proficiency rate of 58.9% and an ELA proficiency rate of 64% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 35.7% and 57% for Montgomery County, and 26.5% and 50.8% for Maryland, respectively.

Additionally, Cashell's female and white students perform well, ranking 69th and 58th out of Maryland elementary schools, respectively.

While Cashell Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has increased its spending per student, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated in recent years. Compared to nearby schools, Belmont Elementary ranks higher in the state, while Sequoyah Elementary and Flower Valley Elementary have lower proficiency rates. Cashell's consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and top 25% ranking in Maryland demonstrate its academic excellence, though the school may benefit from targeted interventions in 5th-grade Mathematics and Science.
