Summary

Woodlin Elementary is a public elementary school in Bethesda, Maryland, serving 597 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Woodlin Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Woodlin's proficiency rates in Mathematics (50.2%) and ELA (58.6%) were significantly higher than the state (26.5% and 50.8%) and district (35.7% and 57%) averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics and ELA, where Woodlin's proficiency rates exceed those of nearby schools like Bethesda Elementary, Luxmanor Elementary, and Ashburton Elementary.

While Woodlin Elementary's academic performance is consistently excellent, the school has experienced a higher chronic absenteeism rate (ranging from 23.2% to 33.0%) compared to the state and district averages, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students is relatively lower compared to other subgroups, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for this student population.
