Summary

Clover Flat Elementary is a small public school serving about 190 students in grades K-6 in Boulevard, California, as part of the Mountain Empire Unified School District, which serves a rural area.

The school has experienced a significant and concerning decline in academic performance over the last decade, falling from a 4-star state ranking to a 0-star ranking, placing it in the bottom 3% of all California elementary schools. While its proficiency rates in English and Math are slightly higher than those at nearby Potrero Elementary, they are notably lower than those at Campo Elementary. Chronic absenteeism, at 33.7%, is higher than both the district and state averages and appears connected to these academic challenges.

Performance varies widely by grade, with some grades showing strengths in English while others, particularly in upper-grade math, show severe weaknesses. Despite a substantial increase in per-student spending in recent years, academic results have not improved, indicating systemic challenges. The school's struggles are reflected across the entire district, but Clover Flat Elementary's dramatic drop from previously higher performance suggests it faces unique issues requiring targeted support and intervention.
