Summary

Rosemont Elementary is a public elementary school in Gaithersburg, Maryland, serving 595 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in the state.

Rosemont Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently lower test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Rosemont's proficiency rates were 39.5% in Mathematics and 46.1% in ELA, while the district averages were 35.7% and 57%, and the state averages were 26.5% and 50.8%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.2% to 38.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Rosemont has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a large proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Rosemont's Hispanic and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students performed relatively better than other subgroups, with higher rankings compared to their peers in the state. However, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students performed worse, ranking in the bottom 40% of Maryland elementary schools. Rosemont's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that additional resources are being directed to the school, but these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates should be a priority for the school, as it is likely a significant factor in the lower academic achievement.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, May 17, 2015

My son who is 4 y/o autistic child going to CAPP program at Rosemont ES. He went missing twice under the care of Rosemont’s staff. One time in the cafeteria, they later found him in the opposite side of the building.

Then second time was at dismissal, he walked off the bus and wandered around the neighborhood. Luckily, a parent found him and brought him back to school.

Please note that he is a 4y/o autistic child who is unable to communicate.

Worst of all, the accountability level is none. The case manager informed me that since he was handed to the bus driver, it is not longer the school’s responsibility. How irresponsible is that if my son is still under their care and the bus parked right in front of the school?

Please alert the community. I hope it won’t happen to another child. Close Quote
