White Oak sits in the southern section of Montgomery County, bisected by the Columbia Pike. Located 11 miles north of Washington, DC, White Oak developed as a largely residential area. The area also features many parks and nature trails, including a 25-mile hiking trail in the northwest section of the neighborhood.
You’ll find the requisite big-box stores and chain restaurants at the heart of White Oak, but the charm of Downtown Silver Spring is just 15 minutes southwest thanks to U.S. Highway 29. Mid-rise apartments and single-family homes ensure there’s a rental for everyone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
