Summary

Woodlin Elementary is a K-5 school in Silver Spring, MD, serving 603 students as part of the highly-regarded Montgomery County Public Schools district. This school stands out as a true "math powerhouse," with 49.8% of students proficient in math—nearly 13 percentage points higher than the district average and almost double the state average. This exceptional performance is even more impressive given that Woodlin serves a moderately diverse student body, with over a third of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, and achieves these results with fewer resources per student and larger class sizes than many nearby schools like Forest Knolls Elementary and Highland View Elementary.

While math is a clear strength, the school's story is more nuanced. English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency has been flat and slightly below the district average for the past three years, suggesting a need for targeted support. Woodlin also shows a hidden strength in special education, with students in this subgroup ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide. However, English Language Learners (ELL) represent a significant area for improvement, ranking in only the 37th percentile. Additionally, chronic absenteeism, while improved from a high of 33% to 19.3%, remains higher than most comparable schools, including North Chevy Chase Elementary (13.7%) and Rock Creek Forest Elementary (12.0%).

Overall, Woodlin Elementary is a school that delivers strong academic results, particularly in math, despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students than some of its higher-ranked neighbors. Its ability to achieve top-tier math scores with a diverse student body and efficient resource use makes it a compelling choice for families. The school's uneven post-pandemic recovery—with math surging ahead while ELA lags—and its challenges with chronic absenteeism and ELL support are key areas for parents to explore further when considering this school.
