Summary

Cloverdale Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Cloverdale, Indiana, which is part of the Cloverdale Community Schools district. While the district is ranked 144 out of 380 in the state and has a 3-star rating, Cloverdale Middle School itself has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

One key area of concern for Cloverdale Middle School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.3% to 24.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.42% to 73.83% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Academically, Cloverdale Middle School's test score performance on the ILEARN assessments is generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36.4%) and Math (30.14%) in 2024-2025 being significantly lower than the state and district averages.

When comparing Cloverdale Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Cascade Middle School and South Putnam Middle School, it generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $9,713 to $11,562 over the past few years, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.2 to 17.2, these factors do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students.
