Summary

Greenwood Elementary in Brookeville, MD, is a top-performing public school serving 534 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade within the highly regarded Montgomery County Public Schools district, and it consistently ranks among the best elementary schools in the state.

Greenwood Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic results, with proficiency rates that far exceed both district and state averages. For example, 66.3% of students are proficient in mathematics compared to 36.9% district-wide, and 77.1% are proficient in English Language Arts versus 58.5% in the district. This places Greenwood in the top 7% of all elementary schools in Maryland, and it has maintained a steady ranking in the 92nd to 93rd percentile over the past four years. While nearby schools like Cashell Elementary and Belmont Elementary also perform well, Greenwood’s combined math and reading scores are the highest among all schools within a five-mile radius. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.9%, less than half the district average of 22.6%, indicating strong student engagement and family involvement.

Another key differentiator is the school’s efficient use of resources, spending $18,394 per student—significantly less than high-performing peers like Cashell ($25,951) and Belmont ($21,024)—while still achieving top-tier results. Greenwood’s performance has shown a steady upward trajectory over the past decade, moving from the 83rd percentile in 2015-2016 to its current elite status. Interestingly, just a mile away, Brooke Grove Elementary serves a similar area but ranks much lower, highlighting how school quality can vary dramatically even within the same community. For parents seeking a consistently excellent elementary school with strong academics, low absenteeism, and efficient spending, Greenwood Elementary is a standout choice.
