Calverton Elementary School

This school received one star which is too high of a score. This is the worst school for my 2nd grader to go to. The teachers and staff are terrible. My son went through life changing situations at this school. Please don't send your child to this school or you are going to seriously regret it.

My grandchildren attend Calverton Elementary in Beltsville, MD. Having recently moved to PG County from Montgomery County which has a reputation for good schools, I was very skeptical regarding the education my grandchildren would receive. Since August, I have had the opportunity to view this particular school on a daily bases. I pick my grandchildren up every day. I am happy to report that the teachers are exceptional. They care about our children and their education. Being an educator, I see how leaders are being developed in this school. Kudos to the staff!!!! Keep up the good work. This is one PG County school I have no reservations about!!!!!!!

I scored Calverton low, not due to the teachers, but for the Administration. The Principal has an agenda that excludes parental involvement. The PTA is weak/nonexistent. Her style also causes the Teachers, who are great and visibly care for the students, to limit their time to school hours only. They cannot get out of the school sooner. The Principal actively avoids eye contact with parents. The only point I would give the principal is she knows our child's name but due to her management style I am concerned WHY she knows my child name because my child is not a disciplinary problem. If you are parent who wants to participate in the community building process at your child's school, Calverton is not for you. Please do your research before selecting this school. I no longer like walking into Calverton and our family is considering moving to escape Calverton Elementary and the Principal's homeless/FARM mentality of the community.
