Summary

Twinbrook Elementary is a public elementary school in Rockville, Maryland, serving 461 students in grades PK-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.

Twinbrook Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments. In 2024-2025, only 24.1% of Twinbrook students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 35.7% in the district and 26.5% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in Science, with only 13.8% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 31.6% in the district and 25.6% statewide. Twinbrook also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (60.52%) and English Language Learners, which likely contributes to its academic challenges.

Twinbrook's academic performance is significantly lower than nearby schools, such as Luxmanor Elementary and Farmland Elementary, which rank in the top 25% of Maryland elementary schools. Additionally, Twinbrook has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.2% to 28.6% over the past few years, compared to the nearby schools' average of 23.6%. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $24,645 in 2023-2024, its academic outcomes remain significantly worse than the nearby higher-performing schools, suggesting the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and instructional practices.

If there was a school that cared about their students' anymore than Twinbrook Elementary, it wouldn't be labeled as such; it would be considered as a HOME and a FAMILY. It is the kind of reassurance that you can't put a value on. Especially when it comes to our children. The teachers' and staff members provide a very nurturing atmosphere where, regardless of each child's strengths and/or weaknesses, each individual can develop at a pace and rate that both the parents and students are comfortable. Twinbrook Elementary has everything a parent could ask for. An adaptive, professional and forward thinking administration. A staff of teachers and para-educators alike that provide just the right blend of subject learning and personality specific attention that their student body needs. Before and after school care programs and activities that so strongly influence our young and enable their parents to carry on a manageable work schedule are available as well. Long story short, I just want to say thank you TWINBROOK. Not sure where the name came from, but this school is certainly more unique than it would indicate. There really is only one, and I couldn't be prouder of the school's efforts and my confidence in their ability to develop and mentor.

I would like to also extend appreciation and specifically acknowledge Ms. Lia Williams for the strength of her efforts and the genuine personality and care she exhibits everyday. Mongtomery County, Twinbrook, I and our children are very lucky to have her. Close Quote

Twinbrook ES, is a school where the majority of the Latino parents do not get involved with their children school learning upbringing. I personally believe that the school is not doing enough to interest parents with language barriers and cultural differences to change this behavior and therefore I attribute this chronic reality to the lack of professional leadership in the areas of cultural awareness and ethnicity relationship, starting with the Principal. The negative developmental growth among all children in grades K-5th centers initially around the shortage of an adequate budget in a moderate-to-low income neighborhood and poor management from educational leaders.
