Summary

North Chevy Chase Elementary is a small, high-performing school in Chevy Chase, MD, serving 237 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district. This school consistently ranks in the top 15% of all Maryland elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past five years, and its focused upper-elementary model is a standout success story.

Academically, North Chevy Chase delivers exceptional results that far exceed district and state averages. For the 2025-2026 school year, 59.5% of students were proficient in math (compared to 36.9% district-wide), 70.5% in English Language Arts (vs. 58.5% district), and 62% in 5th-grade science (vs. 40.1% district). This performance is especially impressive given the school's moderate economic diversity, with about 20.68% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. For context, while nearby Bradley Hills Elementary and Kensington Parkwood Elementary achieve slightly higher test scores, they serve significantly less diverse student populations. North Chevy Chase's achievement is arguably more remarkable because it delivers top-tier results for a broader cross-section of the community, and it is particularly effective at supporting all student subgroups, including White and African American students who rank in the 97th and 94th percentiles statewide, respectively.

The school also excels at keeping students in class, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.7% in 2024-2025, well below the district average of 22.6%. This is a strong improvement from previous years and a key factor in academic success. Interestingly, North Chevy Chase is paired with Rosemary Hills Elementary, which serves grades PK-2 and has a higher poverty rate (40.48% FRL). The fact that students transitioning from Rosemary Hills achieve such high scores at North Chevy Chase is a powerful testament to the school's effectiveness. While its per-student spending of $22,568 is high, it is not the highest in the area, and schools like Flora M. Singer Elementary and Oakland Terrace Elementary spend more but achieve lower test scores, showing that North Chevy Chase uses its resources wisely.
