Cloverly Elementary School

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

Best counselor, I found it the way I was recommended!

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

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.

0 out of 5 stars, after frequent meetings with staff(principal, vice principal, school psychologist, student counselor) a PARA EDUCATOR bullied and traumatized my daughter using fear tactics and power moves (she ripped up a book my 5 year old drew about her and myself for no reason since they refuse to tell me what happened), the investigation took LESS THAN 24 HOURS And the principal had the audacity to tell me that there was no evidence to prove the para educator did anything to my daughter. These are the kinds of people they have around our children. Then she had the audacity to tell me I don’t communicate with her teachers about her progress when it is in fact her teacher who refuses to respond to me! They try to label a kid who is just too smart for her class(as she and I have mentioned that she learned this stuff in pre k last year) as a special needs child. All the principal wants to do is get us to transfer her to another school instead of doing her job and focusing on making my child’s experience here better!

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.
