Cloverly

There's no boundary setting at this school. The students do whatever they want without consequences. Students with high-intensity special needs aren't well cared for, and parents should be leery about enrolling their children in this environment. Parents should also be proactive in their children's education and well-being at this school and not simply trust that the principal and AP have their children's best interests at heart because they don't. There have been unreported events concerning student safety and unreported incidents to save face, such as when a student ran out of the school building and into the neighborhood. If parents don't speak English and have no family member to assist with language translation, these parents in particular could be at a disadvantage, to the detriment of their child slipping through the cracks. Overall, this school is pretty toxic, and the toxicity starts with the head and trickles all the way down. Parents need to be extra vigilant with sending their children to Cannon Road.

My daughter moved to this school recently and she loved it. The teachers are very good

Excellent school leadership (principal is WONDERFUL - firm, honest, transparent, protective). Also a fantastic immersion staff and community.

My daughter has been at Greencastle since kindergarten and she’s now in 3rd grade. The school has definitely improved since she’s been there. Mrs.Dean and Mrs.Hernandez are a strong admin team! & the teachers are truly wonderful and what make the school great. My daughter has always had remarkable, caring teachers and also worked with a strong resource team who are extremely dedicated. My daughter also enjoys the friendships she’s made.

School is good but the teachers getting touchy with my children is a big problem, and everyone at that school just shrugs it off like it’s no big deal.

I met only one Teacher she was nice, but overall the school was very disorganized and the school staff lack information. My daughter dislike Burnt Mills ES. There are data where the bus forgets to pick up the students and the school dont even warn the parents. Busses are extra packed. We are so happy we moved out of Silver Spring, MD and found a better school where my daughter actually loves to go to learn.

I have three children, and we've chosen Spencerville Adventist Academy for all three. Two of my children attended Montgomery County public schools for a portion of their education, so we have had a chance to contrast and compare. Spencerville Adventist Academy in outstanding on many fronts. My children are treated like individuals - they are cherished and academically challenged. The values they are taught are very good and the multi-cultural staff and student body work together well. It is large enough to have a great music program and sports, but small enough that students interested in being in the annual musical or on a sports team, can be. All in all, I highly recommend Spencerville Adventist Academy.
