Summary

Cloverly Elementary in Silver Spring, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 429 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly-rated Montgomery County Public Schools district, and it has recently earned a 4-star rating by climbing to the 72nd percentile statewide.

Cloverly’s standout strength is mathematics, where 47.5% of students are proficient—well above the district average of 36.9% and nearly double the state average. This math performance significantly outpaces nearby schools like Cannon Road Elementary (23.2%) and Greencastle Elementary (19.8%). In English Language Arts (ELA), Cloverly’s proficiency rate of 57.4% sits slightly below the district average, placing it in a middle ground—stronger than Fairland Elementary (50.6%) but trailing top-tier neighbors like Westover Elementary (70.7%) and Sherwood Elementary (66.7%). The school also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the 89th percentile for African American students and the 77th percentile for English Language Learners, though it faces a notable challenge with Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 14th percentile statewide.

Beyond test scores, Cloverly boasts a healthy school climate with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.5%, well below the district’s 22.6% and much lower than Fairland Elementary (29.1%). The school invests heavily in its students, spending $23,717 per pupil and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which provides a resource-rich environment. While science scores have shown some volatility, Cloverly’s overall upward trend and strong math foundation make it a solid choice for families seeking a well-rounded elementary school in the Silver Spring area.
