Neelsville Middle School is located in the northern suburbs of Montgomery County, Maryland, just north of Washington, D. C. Neelsville houses approximately 850 students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades.

The Neelsville Middle School staff, students, parents, and community are devoted to the concept that Neelsville is the “School of the Universe;” we continuously seek ways to improve in order to fulfill the premise that with effective effort all students can experience academic success and develop a sense of personal and social responsibility.  We provide a structured and rigorous learning experience and opportunities to explore a variety of interests that values our diversity and respects student individuality.

Neelsville MS has a short but interesting history. Our facility was actually constructed in 1981; another school used the building for fifteen years, then moved in 1996 to a new building about three miles away. Our staff and students moved into the facility in the summer of 1996, and the building got a fresh coat of paint and a new look to welcome the new occupants. The name of our school was taken from a small community named Neelsville that used to exist in the area where our school now resides. Neelsville Middle School was dedicated to the students and community it serves on May 18, 1997. We are in the Watkins Mill and Clarksburg clusters of schools, with our students coming from Daly ES, South Lake ES, Stedwick ES, and Fox Chapel ES and going to Watkins Mill HS and Clarksburg HS in the ninth grade.
