Summary

Springbrook High is a public magnet high school located in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,874 students. 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.

Despite being a magnet school, Springbrook High consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.9% of Springbrook High students were proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics for All Grades, compared to 35.7% for the district and 26.5% for the state. Additionally, Springbrook High has experienced higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism rates than the district and state averages. The school's performance is generally lower than the nearby Albert Einstein High, Paint Branch High, James Hubert Blake High, Montgomery Blair High, and Wheaton High schools in the district.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Springbrook High, ranging from 58.32% to 66% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. Overall, Springbrook High faces several challenges, and its declining performance over the years suggests the need for targeted interventions to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

This is a great and heterogenous school that do not follow the highly detrimental policy of teaching for the text or the ranking. Close Quote
