Summary

Rocky Hill Middle in Clarksburg, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 1,010 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, a highly-regarded system ranking in the top 32% of Maryland districts.

Rocky Hill stands out for its strong advanced math program, with 43.5% of students proficient in Algebra I—significantly higher than the district (30.5%) and state (21.3%) averages. This rate surpasses nearby schools like Ridgeview Middle (31.3%) and Roberto W. Clemente Middle (32.3%), and is comparable to top-tier schools like Kingsview Middle (46%). However, this success masks broader math struggles: only 10.2% of 7th graders and 5.6% of 8th graders are proficient in grade-level math, well below state averages. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is a relative strength at 51%, nearly matching the state average of 51.7%.

The school faces notable challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21-23%, which is higher than nearby Hallie Wells Middle (11.2%) and Kingsview (13.7%). Rocky Hill also has a higher poverty rate (45.6% free/reduced lunch) compared to Hallie Wells (18.5%), just 1.45 miles away, highlighting a socioeconomic divide. Additionally, the school's performance with Special Education students ranks in the 9th percentile statewide, a critical area for improvement. Spending per student ($18,856) is lower than all nearby peers, while the student-teacher ratio (15.9:1) is among the highest, potentially impacting academic outcomes.
