Summary

Montgomery Village Middle in Montgomery Village, MD, is a public school serving 780 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, a highly-rated district ranking in the top 32% of Maryland.

This school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores that are dramatically lower than nearby schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, only 5.5% of students were proficient in Math and 28.8% in English Language Arts (ELA), compared to district averages of 36.9% and 58.5%, respectively. This places the school in the bottom 20% of Maryland middle schools for the past decade. For context, nearby Ridgeview Middle and Kingsview Middle rank in the top half of the state, with Kingsview achieving 38.8% Math proficiency. Even Forest Oak Middle, which serves a similar percentage of students from low-income households, outperforms Montgomery Village in both subjects. The school spends $22,732 per student—more than any nearby peer—yet this high investment has not translated into better outcomes. Chronic absenteeism is a concern at 21.2%, though it is comparable to other high-poverty schools in the area.

There are a few bright spots. Students in advanced math courses, such as Algebra I, have performed well, with proficiency rates that have exceeded district and state averages in recent years. Additionally, the school is relatively effective for its Special Education students, ranking in the top half of the state. However, the overall picture is one of deep inequity, with Math proficiency in 8th grade dropping to just 0.4%. For parents, this school requires careful consideration, especially if your child needs strong foundational support in math and reading.
