Montgomery County Public Schools


Summary:

The Montgomery County Public Schools district in Maryland encompasses 207 schools, including 138 elementary schools, 40 middle schools, 27 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds across the region.

The district is home to several standout schools, including Walt Whitman High School, which ranks 3rd out of 127 Maryland high schools and has a 5-star rating, boasting the highest 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate in the district at 87.7%. Other high-performing schools include Thomas S. Wootton High School, ranked 5th in the state, and several top-ranked elementary schools like Westbrook Elementary, Carderock Springs Elementary, and Cold Spring Elementary.

However, the district also exhibits significant performance gaps, with some schools, such as Watkins Mill High School and John F. Kennedy High School, having proficiency rates around 35%, well below the district and state averages. This suggests a correlation between a school's demographic and socioeconomic makeup and its academic performance, an area that the Montgomery County Public Schools district may need to address to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
