About Cloverly Elementary

School History

ces clipartCloverly Elementary School was originally built in 1961 and later closed in 1983 due to a significant reduction in student enrollment. Cloverly was later renovated and reopened in 1989, with additional classrooms and storage and office spaces. Our state-of-the-art gymnasium was built in 2008.

Cloverly educates 500 plus students from Pre-K through 5th grade living in the Silver Spring/Ashton area of Montgomery County. Following fifth grade, our students matriculate to Briggs Chaney or Farquhar Middle Schools. As a part of the Northeast Consortium, students may choose to attend Springbrook, Paintbranch, or Blake High Schools.

Our staff is highly dedicated to academic excellence and continuous improvement. There are 78 administrative, guidance, teaching, and support positions. The full-time professional staff consists of 36 staff members, approximately 90% hold or are working towards a Master’s degree. Cloverly ES is part of the Montgomery County (Maryland) school system, the 16th largest school system in the United States, located in the Washington D.C. suburbs. We are part of the Northeast Consortium.
