Summary

Jones Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Gaithersburg, Maryland, serving 453 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 8th out of 25 districts in the state.

Jones Lane Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20-25% of Maryland elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the Montgomery County and Maryland state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Jones Lane's proficiency rates were 60.5% in Mathematics and 64.7% in English Language Arts, compared to 35.7% and 57% for the county, and 26.5% and 50.8% for the state. The school performs exceptionally well for its White and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-20% of Maryland elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for English Language Learner (ELL) students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools.

While Jones Lane Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools like Diamond Elementary, Stone Mill Elementary, and DuFief Elementary, some schools like Travilah Elementary and Rachel Carson Elementary outperform Jones Lane in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates. Additionally, Jones Lane Elementary has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 14% to 25.3% over the past few years, which is an area of concern the school may need to address.
