Summary

Beverly Farms Elementary in Potomac, MD, is a high-performing K-5 school within Montgomery County Public Schools that serves 526 students and has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2015-2016.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (75.5%) and English Language Arts (84.8%) that are roughly double the district average and nearly triple the state average. These scores are the highest among nearby schools, with the exception of Cold Spring Elementary, which ranks #1 in the state. Beverly Farms also demonstrates remarkable success with specific student groups—its African American students ranked 8th out of 504 schools statewide, and its English Language Learner students ranked 3rd out of 115 schools statewide. This shows the school is highly effective at closing achievement gaps, not just serving a privileged population. The school also has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%, roughly half the district average of 22.6%, and lower than nearby schools like Lakewood Elementary (15.7%) and Farmland Elementary (15.9%).

An interesting pattern is a dip in 4th-grade math scores—only 63.8% proficient compared to 86.3% in 3rd grade and 78.9% in 5th grade—which may be a focus area for the school. Beverly Farms also spends $17,897 per student, less than some lower-performing nearby schools like Luxmanor Elementary ($20,171), suggesting efficient resource use. The school has shown a consistent upward trajectory in state rankings, climbing from 81st in 2015-2016 to 19th in 2025-2026. While it sits in a competitive area near top-ranked Wayside Elementary and Cold Spring Elementary, Beverly Farms remains an excellent choice for families seeking strong academics and a supportive community.
