The top reported proficiency rate is 60% in English language arts. The lowest is 37% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Luxmanor Elementary
Luxmanor Elementary serves students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Rockville, a city that functions as the county seat of Montgomery County and a hub of the Interstate 270 Technology Corridor, home to numerous software and biotechnology companies. The school sits within Montgomery County Public Schools, one of the region’s major employers, and the district itself receives a substantial portion of the county’s annual budget, reflecting a sustained fiscal commitment that shapes property tax burdens and resource allocation.
The student body is diverse. Enrolled families represent a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds: roughly a quarter of students are Asian, a quarter are white, just under a quarter are Hispanic, and about a sixth are Black. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. The school’s overall enrollment is moderate for its grade band.
On state assessments administered in spring 2025, the school’s proficiency rates were mixed across subjects and grade levels. In English language arts, the third-grade cohort had a proficiency rate that was notably higher than the fourth- and fifth-grade cohorts, which clustered at a similar but lower level. In mathematics, the pattern showed a steady decline from third grade to fifth grade, with the third-grade class performing at a higher level than the fourth-grade class, which in turn outperformed the fifth-grade class. On the fifth-grade science assessment, the proficiency rate was the lowest reported among all tested subjects and grades, a soft spot that a parent may want to look into further with the school. Because this is the first year of data available in this format, there is no multi-year trend to compare against.
Only one school year of testing data is available, so no trend can be established.
The school does not have data that allows a direct comparison to other schools within Montgomery County based on overall proficiency or graduation rates, which is not applicable since the school does not serve high school grades. The absence of chronic absenteeism data means that community climate metrics are not part of this picture.
Rockville itself provides a varied context for school families. The downtown area has seen significant redevelopment and offers transit-oriented features near Metro stations, but the broader city relies heavily on cars, especially along the major commercial corridors. Major employers include Montgomery County government, the school district, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Montgomery College, and Westat. The city is served by Washington Metro Red Line stations, MARC commuter rail, and Amtrak, and has a library and recreation center. Housing values in the area are elevated relative to the state and national benchmarks, making the market a significant consideration for families moving into the attendance area.
For families weighing Luxmanor, the core academic picture shows a school where early elementary reading proficiency was a clear high point in the most recent testing year, while math proficiency eroded through the upper grades and science proficiency lagged. The school’s broad demographic mix offers a diverse peer environment, something many families actively seek. The district has recently adopted a new elementary literacy curriculum across all its schools, which may affect instruction and student performance in the coming years. The district is also conducting system-wide boundary studies as part of long-term facilities planning, a process that could eventually affect which school a child attends. A family considering Luxmanor will want to understand how the school supports students through the transition from primary to upper elementary grades, especially in math, and how the curriculum changes are landing in the classroom.
