Summary

Cloverdale Middle School is a grade 5–8 school in Cloverdale, Indiana, serving 297 students as part of Cloverdale Community Schools. It ranks 220 of 486 in 2025–26 (55th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 200 of 374 (47th percentile, 2 stars), suggesting the school is performing somewhat above its district’s overall standing. Its rank history is stable, with 3 stars in most recent years and percentile ranks mostly in the mid-50s to low-60s. Among nearby middle schools, it is mid-pack overall. One important caveat: Cloverdale is the only school in this comparison serving grade 5, so all-grade proficiency comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples.

The clearest red flags are chronic absenteeism, poverty indicators, and staffing ratios. Cloverdale’s chronic absenteeism was 22.2% in 2024–25, above Indiana’s 16.7% and higher than every nearby school, including Monrovia Middle School (9.0%), Cascade Middle School (7.5%), South Putnam Middle School (6.5%), North Putnam Middle School (9.7%), Greencastle Middle School (13.4%), and Owen Valley Middle School (17.6%). Its free/reduced lunch rate was 67.68%, the highest among nearby schools, and its student/teacher ratio was 15.2, also the highest in the peer group. Achievement is mixed: in 2025–26 all-grade ILEARN results, ELA was 35.23%, math 30.00%, and science 43.42%. Science is a relative strength, while math is a weakness. Grade-level bright spots include 7th grade ELA at 45.71% and 6th grade science at 43.42%; 8th grade math is a severe weakness at 16.13%, and 5th grade is low across core subjects.

Compared with peers, Cloverdale outperforms Monrovia Middle School in ELA, math, and science and has stronger science results than North Putnam Middle School, Greencastle Middle School, and South Putnam Middle School, though Cascade Middle School is higher. It trails Cascade and South Putnam significantly, especially in math. Spending was $10,761 per student in 2023–24, mid-pack among nearby schools. Overall, Cloverdale is a mid-pack regional school with a stable 3-star ranking and a notable science/7th-grade-ELA profile, but its most pressing challenges are high chronic absenteeism, high poverty indicators, a high student/teacher ratio, and especially 8th grade math.
