Summary

Green Valley Elementary in Monrovia, MD, is a K-5 school serving 850 students within the Frederick County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a consistent high-performer with a particular strength in mathematics. The school has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and ranks in the top 15% of Maryland elementary schools, with only 13.4% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1.

Green Valley’s most notable differentiator is its exceptional math proficiency, with 62.2% of all students proficient—1.6 times the district average and 2.3 times the state average. This is the highest math proficiency rate among nearby Frederick County peers, surpassing even top-ranked schools like Centerville Elementary and Sugarloaf Elementary when considering all grades. However, the school is surrounded by an exceptionally high-performing cluster, so while it ranks in the 85th percentile statewide, it is "middle of the pack" locally. A slight dip in proficiency occurs from 3rd to 5th grade in both math (71.7% to 54.7%) and English Language Arts (71.7% to 56.4%), which is a common pattern but suggests the curriculum may be particularly effective in primary grades. Chronic absenteeism is a consistent strength at 12.9%, significantly better than the district average of 16.7% and lower than nearby Oakdale Elementary (16.5%).

In contrast, Damascus Elementary in the Montgomery County Public Schools district, located just 4.9 miles away, has a much higher poverty rate (46.2%), higher chronic absenteeism (26.1%), and significantly lower test scores (41.4% math, 48.5% ELA), highlighting how community factors influence school performance. Green Valley’s subgroup data from 2020-2021 shows it earns 2 stars for Asian and White students, indicating that while these groups perform well in absolute terms, they are not achieving at the same high level as peers in similar demographic groups statewide—a potential area for growth.
