Summary

Cloverdale Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 694 students in the Moreno Valley Unified district, operating in a community with significant economic need where most students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the lower tier of California elementary schools, though it shows some relative strengths in mathematics and science compared to the district average. The school has made notable progress in reducing chronic student absences, cutting the rate by nearly half since 2022. A particularly interesting finding is the school's effectiveness with English Language Learner students, where it ranks above average statewide. However, performance can vary significantly from year to year for different groups of students, and a recent dramatic increase in per-student spending has not yet led to a corresponding major improvement in overall academic rankings.

Comparisons with nearby schools reveal important context. While Cloverdale faces challenges, its chronic absenteeism rate is better than several neighbors like Sunnymead Elementary and Moreno Elementary. The most striking contrast is with North Ridge Elementary, located less than a mile away, which achieves significantly higher academic proficiency and a much lower chronic absenteeism rate, suggesting that factors within a school's control can lead to different outcomes even in similar communities.
