Cloverly Elementary

Summary:

Cloverly Elementary is a public elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA).

Cloverly Elementary's strong performance is evident across different student subgroups, with its African American and English Language Learner (ELL) students ranking in the top quartile of Maryland elementary schools. However, the school's Special Education students are an area for potential improvement. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its academic success. When compared to nearby schools, Cloverly generally outperforms its competitors, with Sherwood Elementary and Dr. Charles R. Drew Elementary being the closest in terms of academic performance.

Cloverly Elementary's diverse student population has seen a slight decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, reflecting the broader demographic changes in the surrounding area. This shift in racial composition is an interesting trend to monitor, as the school continues to maintain its strong academic performance. Overall, Cloverly Elementary is a high-performing school that provides a quality education to its students, with access to resources that may contribute to its success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
