The Frederick County Public School (FCPS) District’s mission is to inspire, innovate & motivate. FCPS serves more than 45,000 students and 280,000 residents in twelve municipalities spread across 667 square miles. FCPS provides a diverse and inclusive learning environment, where excellence in college and career preparedness are paramount. The commitment to our community is to provide exceptional education and equity for "every child, every day".

Frederick County students consistently outpace their state and national peers in academic achievement measures. Students in our class of 2022 received $52.8 million in scholarship offers. FCPS’s Class of 2020 graduation rate was 93.73% (compared to Maryland's 87.20% average), while our dropout rate was 2.61% (compared with the state's 7.36%). We balance top-rate academics with the personal caring and individual attention you would expect in a small-town community. Frederick County's investment in public education is an investment in our future. Our operating budget for FY2023 is $822,836,251 with nearly 45% of our funding coming from local county government.

Together, FCPS and our community are working to realize the increased academic achievement of ALL students, closing the gap between the highest and lowest performing students while providing an equitable learning environment for all.
