Wheaton Woods Elementary

Summary:

Wheaton Woods Elementary is a public elementary school in Rockville, Maryland, serving 559 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating.

Wheaton Woods Elementary faces several challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance compared to the district and state. The school's overall proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are below the Montgomery County and Maryland averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate is only 8.9%, significantly lower than the district's 31.1% and the state's 23.9%. While the school's African American students perform exceptionally well, ranking 39th out of 504 Maryland elementary schools in this subgroup, the Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) populations struggle, ranking 215th and 74th out of 347 and 115 Maryland elementary schools, respectively.

Despite receiving relatively high per-student funding, ranging from $20,641 to $23,042 over the past three school years, Wheaton Woods Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and community engagement, may play a significant role in shaping the school's academic performance. Nearby schools in the Montgomery County Public Schools district, such as Rock Creek Valley Elementary and Harmony Hills Elementary, exhibit a wide range of academic performance, further highlighting the complexity of improving student outcomes at Wheaton Woods 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.

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.
