Frequently asked questions

What is the best elementary school in Silver Spring?

Oakland Terrace Elementary in Silver Spring, Maryland ranks first among elementary schools in Silver Spring with a Success Index (US) of 73.8 out of 100 (Enrollment: 500).

How are elementary schools in Silver Spring ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.

Are these 2025 rankings official?

No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
