Summary

Farmland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rockville, Maryland, serving 813 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Farmland Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Maryland, with a statewide ranking between 18th and 119th out of 865 schools in recent years. The school's students perform significantly better than the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 58.7% of Farmland students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 35.7% in the district and 26.5% statewide. In ELA, 67.2% of Farmland students were proficient or better, compared to 57% in the district and 50.8% statewide. Farmland's students also outperform their peers in specific subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, ranking among the top schools in the state for these groups.

While Farmland Elementary has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.1% to 25.3% in recent years, the nearby schools generally experience similar levels of chronic absenteeism, suggesting this may be a broader issue in the region. Farmland Elementary's higher per-student spending ($17,149 in 2023-2024) and lower student-to-teacher ratio of 16:1 compared to the nearby schools may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, other high-performing schools, such as Seven Locks Elementary, also have relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratios, indicating that these factors alone do not fully explain Farmland's success.
