Summary

Westbrook Elementary in Bethesda, MD, is a K-5 school serving 468 students within the highly-regarded Montgomery County Public Schools district, consistently ranking among the top 10% of elementary schools in Maryland over the past decade. What truly sets Westbrook apart is its remarkable stability at the very top—it has never ranked lower than the 89th percentile in the last ten years and has spent the last five years in the 95th percentile or higher. This consistency is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Bannockburn Elementary and Wood Acres Elementary, which show more significant year-over-year ranking fluctuations. Additionally, Westbrook boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, far below the district average of 22.6% and among the best in its peer group, with only Wood Acres (6.7%) and Chevy Chase Elementary (8.6%) having lower rates.

Westbrook also stands out for its moderate economic diversity, with 13.03% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, which is notably higher than several of its highest-performing neighbors like Bradley Hills Elementary (2.11%), Wyngate Elementary (3.44%), and Bannockburn Elementary (4.04%). This suggests Westbrook is successfully achieving top-tier academic results while serving a more diverse student population than its immediate top-tier competitors. While its state ranking has seen a slight dip from #2 in 2020-2021 to #46 in 2025-2026, this still places it in the 95th percentile, reflecting the intensely competitive nature of the Bethesda school cluster rather than any decline in quality.

One area for potential focus is a noticeable drop in 5th-grade math proficiency to 59.5%, compared to higher rates in 3rd and 4th grade (76.5% and 72.1%). This trend is more pronounced at Westbrook than at some peers like Burning Tree Elementary (68.7%) and Chevy Chase Elementary (72.7%), indicating a possible curriculum transition point. Overall, Westbrook is a consistently elite school that provides a stable, high-quality education, with effective resource allocation and a strong community contributing to its sustained academic excellence.
