North Chevy Chase Elementary

Summary:

North Chevy Chase Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with a student population of 234 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Maryland, thanks to its exceptional academic results and diverse student body.

North Chevy Chase Elementary's academic performance is truly impressive, with students significantly outperforming their peers across Montgomery County Public Schools and the state of Maryland on the MCAP assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 57.8% of North Chevy Chase students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to just 33.4% for the district and 24.1% for the state. Similarly, 68.2% of North Chevy Chase students were proficient or better in MCAP English Language Arts, outpacing the district's 55.3% and the state's 48.4%. This consistent academic excellence is particularly noteworthy given the school's diverse student population, which includes 47.01% White, 19.23% African American, 16.67% Hispanic, and 8.55% Asian students.

While North Chevy Chase Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, it is not the only high-achieving school in the area. Nearby schools like Bethesda Elementary and Kensington Parkwood Elementary also demonstrate very high academic achievement, despite serving student populations that are more homogeneous and have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as effective teaching, targeted interventions, and a supportive school community, contribute to the success of these top-performing schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
