Summary

Cloverdale High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 for about 393 students in the Cloverdale Unified School District in Sonoma County, a school that graduates nearly all of its students but faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism and academic proficiency.

The school presents a complex picture: it maintains an exceptionally high graduation rate of 96.6%, well above the state average, even though fewer than half of its students are proficient in English and only about 16% are proficient in math. At the same time, chronic absenteeism—students missing a large portion of the school year—has risen sharply to 36%, which is nearly double the state average. This combination of high graduation despite high absenteeism and lower test scores suggests the school has strong systems to help students complete requirements, though it raises questions about the depth of learning and preparation for life after high school.

Compared to nearby schools, Cloverdale High's situation is unique. For instance, Healdsburg High, which serves a similar student population, has much stronger academic scores and spends significantly more per student. Meanwhile, the school's own district continuation school, Johanna Echols-Hansen High (Continuation), reports a perfect graduation rate with a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. Cloverdale High's academic ranking has declined over the past decade, and its severe struggles in mathematics mirror a regional trend seen in schools like Kelseyville High and Geyserville New Technical Academy.
