Summary

Stonegate Elementary in Silver Spring, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 565 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-regarded Montgomery County Public Schools district. This school stands out as a math powerhouse, with 49.4% of students proficient in math—far exceeding the district average of 36.9% and dramatically outperforming nearby schools like Georgian Forest Elementary (18.5%) and Cannon Road Elementary (23.2%). Only Westover Elementary (56.6%) and Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary (49.4%) match or exceed Stonegate's math proficiency in the area.

Stonegate also excels at keeping students engaged, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.0%—the lowest among all comparable schools in the area and well below the district average of 22.6%. For context, nearby schools like Fairland Elementary (29.1%) and Bel Pre Elementary (26.2%) have rates nearly double that of Stonegate. The school is particularly effective with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide for its work with this group. This efficiency extends to its budget, as Stonegate achieves strong results with lower per-pupil spending ($19,294) compared to neighbors like Westover ($26,230) and Cannon Road ($27,409).

While Stonegate is a math leader, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency of 53.9% falls below the district average of 58.5%, indicating room for growth. It still outperforms lower-performing peers like Strathmore Elementary (39%) and Georgian Forest (28.8%), but lags behind top performers like Westover (70.7%) and Dr. Charles R. Drew (64%). Stonegate is part of a high-performing cluster of schools in eastern Silver Spring, including William Tyler Page Elementary and Cloverly Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 25-30% of the state. Its state ranking has seen a slight dip from the 82nd percentile in 2018-2019 to the 71st percentile currently, a trend worth monitoring as the school continues to serve a growing number of students from low-income families.
