Maryvale Elementary

Maryvale Elementary serves 631 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Rockville, Maryland. The school earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10, placing it in the Exceptional tier, with academic and growth scores both reaching 9.5. Those numbers rank Maryvale #33 of 1,363 public schools across Maryland — outperforming 98% of schools statewide.

In Rockville, only one of the city's 32 public schools ranks higher. A 14.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps instruction personal at every grade level. The 9.5 growth score is worth examining closely: it measures how much students progress year over year regardless of where they start, and strong growth signals the instruction itself is producing results rather than simply reflecting the demographics of the incoming class.

Both academic and growth scores landing at 9.5 suggest consistent performance across the student population, not just a few strong grade levels pulling up the average. Among Maryland's 882 elementary schools specifically, Maryvale ranks 33rd — a placement in the top 4 percent in a state with no shortage of competitive public options. For families comparing elementary schools in the Rockville area, every data point here points the same direction.
