Summary:
The Cloverdale Unified school district serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade with four public schools in a high-need community, but the district ranks in the bottom 17th percentile statewide despite per-student spending above the national average.
Among the schools, Jefferson Elementary shows relative strengths in mathematics and has the district's lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 13.3%, while Washington Middle School reveals a critical drop in math proficiency that requires attention. Cloverdale High has the highest academic ranking of the traditional schools and a strong 96.6% graduation rate, but it is challenged by a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 36%.
A notable success is Johanna Echols-Hansen High (Continuation), which achieves a 100% graduation rate for its small, at-risk student population. Overall, the district lags behind state averages in English and Math proficiency, and key opportunities for improvement include addressing the middle school math performance, reducing high school absenteeism, and understanding the factors behind fluctuating elementary school rankings.
