Rosemont Elementary

Summary:

Rosemont Elementary is a public elementary school in Gaithersburg, Maryland, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in student performance, particularly in mathematics, where scores lag behind the district and state averages. However, Rosemont's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student suggest opportunities for targeted interventions to improve outcomes.

Rosemont Elementary's performance on standardized tests has been below the Montgomery County Public Schools district and the state of Maryland in both mathematics and English language arts. While the school's Hispanic students perform better than its African American students, the overall proficiency rates are low, with only 33.9% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 44.5% in English language arts. Nearby schools like Fields Road Elementary, College Gardens Elementary, and Candlewood Elementary have significantly higher performance levels.

Despite these challenges, Rosemont Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 students per teacher, compared to the district average of 12.2. Additionally, the school's spending per student, ranging from $16,770 to $18,243 over the past three years, is above the district average. These factors suggest that targeted interventions and support programs could help address the achievement gaps and improve student outcomes at Rosemont Elementary.

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.

My son who is 4 y/o autistic child going to CAPP program at Rosemont ES. He went missing twice under the care of Rosemont’s staff. One time in the cafeteria, they later found him in the opposite side of the building.

Then second time was at dismissal, he walked off the bus and wandered around the neighborhood. Luckily, a parent found him and brought him back to school.

Please note that he is a 4y/o autistic child who is unable to communicate.

Worst of all, the accountability level is none. The case manager informed me that since he was handed to the bus driver, it is not longer the school’s responsibility. How irresponsible is that if my son is still under their care and the bus parked right in front of the school?

Please alert the community. I hope it won’t happen to another child. Close Quote

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.
