Summary

Montgomery Village Middle is a public middle school located in Montgomery Village, MD, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 807 students. It is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, Montgomery Village Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Maryland middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 school years. Its proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% to 25.3% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Montgomery Village Middle has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.23% to 80.21% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

When comparing Montgomery Village Middle to nearby schools in the same district, such as Ridgeview Middle, Kingsview Middle, and Hallie Wells Middle, it consistently underperforms its peers in terms of academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and the percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Montgomery Village Middle spends more per student ($22,732 in 2023-2024) compared to the higher-performing nearby schools, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the solution to improving academic outcomes. By addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, and learning from the practices of the higher-performing nearby schools, Montgomery Village Middle may be able to implement effective interventions and support systems to help its students succeed.
