About 33 to 37 percent of Cloverly Elementary students passed annual math assessments in 2017 and 63 to 67 percent of students failed, according to a Montgomery News analysis of the latest Maryland schools report card.

The Maryland State Department of Education did not provide exact figures for some groups of Cloverly Elementary students because those groups included less than 5 percent of students who tested in the school. The analysis includes a range where exact totals can't be calculated.

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is administered to third- through eighth-graders in Maryland, testing them in reading and math based on Common Core standards.

According to Cloverly Elementary math scores, 30.1 percent met expectations and 3 to 7 percent exceeded them. Students whose results are in either category are considered ready to move on to the next level and are most prepared for college or work.

Another 32.9 percent approached expectations, while 27.8 percent partially met expectations and 3 to 6 percent did not meet them. Students who scored in these categories are not ready for the next level.

The school's results were slightly better than state averages. In Maryland, about 28 percent of students met expectations on the math tests and about 5 percent exceeded them, putting the percentage of students who passed at about 33 percent. The rest about 67 percent failed, with about 26 percent of students approaching expectations, about 23 percent partially meeting expectations and about 18 percent not meeting them.
