Summary

Chevy Chase Elementary is a high-performing school in Chevy Chase, MD, serving 3rd through 5th grade students as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, and it stands out for its remarkable academic success with a diverse student body where over a third of students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

This school consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of Maryland elementary schools, currently placing 47th out of 864 schools. What truly sets Chevy Chase apart is its exceptional performance with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 97th percentile statewide for this group—a stark contrast to nearby schools like Bradley Hills Elementary and Wood Acres Elementary, which have far fewer students in this category. The school also achieves top-tier results for its White and Asian students, ranking in the 99th and 98th percentiles respectively. Science is a clear strength, with 72.7% of 5th graders proficient—nearly double the district average and higher than all nearby schools except Wood Acres. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 8.6%, compared to the district average of 22.6%, and on par with the best-performing schools like Bradley Hills.

While Chevy Chase excels in many areas, it faces a notable challenge with English Language Learners, who earn only a 3-star rating—a significant gap compared to other subgroups. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.3 than many peers, yet still achieves outstanding results. Its unique grade configuration (3-5 only) allows for a focused upper elementary curriculum, preparing students well for middle school. Overall, Chevy Chase Elementary is a standout choice for families seeking a school that combines high academic achievement with genuine socioeconomic diversity.
