Summary

Clarksburg Elementary is a K-5 school in Clarksburg, MD, serving 365 students as part of the highly-regarded Montgomery County Public Schools district, and it consistently earns a 4-star rating for its strong academic performance.

This school is a standout in mathematics, with 55.3% of students proficient in math—a rate 50% higher than the district average and more than double the state average. This performance far exceeds nearby schools like Lake Seneca Elementary (23.8%) and Waters Landing Elementary (24.7%), and it rivals top performers like Wilson Wims Elementary (71.9%). Clarksburg also excels in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.2%—less than half the district average of 22.6% and significantly lower than Lake Seneca Elementary (26.3%). Additionally, the school is exceptionally effective at supporting special education students, who ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide. While its science scores were once below average, a recent turnaround has pushed proficiency to 56.4%, well above the district and state averages.

Clarksburg Elementary achieves these results efficiently, spending $21,722 per student—less than nearby schools with lower performance, such as Dr. Sally K. Ride Elementary ($26,203) and Lake Seneca Elementary ($24,307). However, the school has room to grow in supporting its low socio-economic status students, who ranked in the 47th percentile. Overall, Clarksburg’s consistent year-over-year performance places it in a competitive local landscape, where it holds its own against top schools like Cedar Grove Elementary (92nd percentile) while outperforming others like Little Bennett Elementary (73rd percentile).
