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 its no big deal.

The teachers at this school have all been communicative and wonderful to work with. Covid made for a tough couple of years in school and between virtual and in-person transition my child has felt supported and has been successful. Class sizes are reasonable and the overall size of the school is effective for the administration to get to know the students. They have a wonderful PTA and there is a good sense of community. I feel that my child is safe and learning in a wonderful environment every day. My child can't wait for school to begin every fall thanks to Cloverly staff!

I agree for the fact that they take time for their students and really try to get to know them

Teachers have a lot of experience with kind words

It goes to show the time my child has put into this school has given him more confidence and a better understanding of whats to come.

I believe the leadership is strong in this school to take charge when needed

Due to its high differentiation in children in this school and some with learning disabilities.

The school does not take bullying lightly and rules are strongly against bullying and is addressed to the students.
Posted: September 18, 2020
My experience with this school has always been positive and believe most kids are safe going during the school year.

There is a lack of communication in how to submit and a breakdown in return of work.

Lots of covert and overt bullying transpired.
Posted: June 4, 2020
When we complained about the bullying our daughter experienced, we were told, "Well, since no teacher saw it, we'll have to agree to disagree that it happened."
Posted: June 4, 2020
Posted: June 4, 2020
We complained multiple times and it was always brushed off as our daughter was going through an adjustment period and interpreting interactions from other students wrong.
Posted: June 4, 2020
We will not be returning in the fall.

The administration and staff may be great for those students who are at level or below the standard and who need catching up, but nothing is being done for those students who are already above the "Standard". Those students aren't challenged and start to get bored. The curriculum seems to limit what the teachers are allowed to teach (??).

I've had 4 kids go to Cloverly. We've been extremely pleased with the faculty, staff, and administration. Our kids love the school and atmosphere. The PTA is very involved and everyone genuinely cares for the kids. Excellent school.

I heard such wonderful things about the school before I enrolled my son there. I must say I am heartfully disappointed. I don't feel like my son is learning the basic foundation skills he needs and the staff is less than helpful.

I have 3 children in Cloverly ES & I must say that the teachers and staff are top notch and genuinely care about all the kids. My kids are always excited to go to school & when they come home, eager to share their day at school. The Cloverly PTA is also exceptional with all the fun activities they plan for the kids - reading night, bingo night, book fairs, movie night - our family is always looking forward to the next fun family event at Cloverly.

My oldest daughter has been going to Cloverly for three years and it has been a wonderful experience for our family. She started there in the first grade with poor reading skills, as she attended a nontraditional kindergarten. She progressed quickly and is now in the top reading and math groups. Cloverly teachers and administrators are great at creating a caring community environment and at providing the support that each student needs to be successful.

Love the school. Standards are high but the teachers make learning fun. My daughter is doing great and is ahead of some of her friends attending other schools. She has a love for learning and we are thrilled that she likes to go to school.

I love this school . I am a student who has been at cloverly for six years from kindergarten to fifth grade. And I have benefited a lot through those years. This school has prepared me for middle school and next year I'm taking accelerated classes especially in math. And in math, I'm not 1 but 2 years ahead of my grade level. This is an amazing school
