Summary

Brookhaven Elementary in Rockville, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 436 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its exceptional ability to support students facing socioeconomic challenges.

What makes Brookhaven truly unique is its remarkable performance with high-needs student groups. While the school's overall academic rankings place it in the middle tier of Maryland elementary schools, its low-income students rank in the 96th percentile statewide—a stunning achievement that far exceeds nearby schools with similar poverty rates like Georgian Forest and Harmony Hills, which rank in the bottom 25%. Brookhaven also achieves top-tier results for its African American students (94th percentile) and English Language Learners (82nd percentile). The school invests heavily in this success, spending $27,023 per student—the highest among all nearby schools and significantly more than top-performing Lucy V. Barnsley Elementary ($19,662)—which funds a low 11.5:1 student-teacher ratio and specialized programs.

However, Brookhaven faces clear challenges. Its math proficiency (28.4%) is only slightly above the state average, and there's a troubling drop in 5th-grade performance, with math proficiency falling to just 18.5% and science to 15.6% (compared to the district average of 40.1%). Chronic absenteeism, which peaked at 31.2% after the pandemic, has improved significantly to 20.5%—now below the district average. This school is a high-resource environment that prioritizes closing achievement gaps over maximizing overall rankings, making it an excellent choice for families whose children may benefit from intensive support, though parents should be aware of the upper-grade academic challenges.
