Summary

Cloverleaf Elementary in Cartersville, GA, serves approximately 646 students in grades PK-5 as part of Bartow County Schools, and it currently holds a 2-star rating after several years of consistent 3-star performance.

One of the school's standout strengths is attendance. Cloverleaf's chronic absenteeism rate is just 12.9%—well below the district average of 15.8% and the state average of 17.7%. This isn't a one-year fluke; the school has outperformed its district by roughly 10 percentage points for five straight years, showing strong family engagement and a positive school culture. In math, Cloverleaf shows a clear pattern: upper-grade students perform much better than 3rd graders. In 2025-2026, 5th grade math proficiency (45.7%) actually edged out the state average (44.1%), while 3rd grade math (41%) lagged behind both district and state averages. The previous year was even stronger, with 5th graders hitting 60.6% proficiency—18 points above the state. This suggests students who stay at Cloverleaf through the upper grades tend to show real growth in math.

The most significant concern is 5th grade science. Only 27.2% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, compared to 44.2% statewide—a 17-point gap that has widened each year. This is especially puzzling because the same students perform well in math, pointing to a specific challenge in science instruction rather than a general academic weakness. Compared to nearby schools, Cloverleaf sits in the lower-middle tier: Pine Log Elementary (4 stars) and Hamilton Crossing Elementary (4 stars) lead the area, while Emerson Elementary ranks below Cloverleaf. Per-student spending ($16,585) is mid-range among peers, and the school's recent one-year drop in math scores across all grades—combined with the persistent science gap—suggests areas where targeted support could help Cloverleaf return to its previous 3-star standing.
