Summary

Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cloverdale, Indiana, with 1,456 students enrolled. As part of the Cloverdale Community Schools district, which is ranked 144 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating, the school faces some unique challenges in delivering effective virtual instruction.

Academically, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy's ILEARN test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 43.15%, compared to 42.43% for the district and 40.3% for the state. In math, the school's proficiency rate was 30.92%, compared to 32.56% for the district and 51.5% for the state. The school's performance has been relatively consistent, with its statewide ranking hovering around the 500-600 range out of over 1,000 Indiana elementary schools. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 1.0% to 19.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Cloverdale Elementary School.

Compared to nearby brick-and-mortar schools, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy's per-student spending has ranged from $6,427 to $7,783, lower than schools like Fillmore Elementary ($13,888) and Eminence Elementary ($17,343). This suggests that the virtual format may allow for some cost savings, but it could also indicate that the school is not receiving the same level of resources and support as its traditional counterparts. Overall, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy faces a mix of academic, attendance, and resource-related challenges that are common for virtual schools, and there is room for improvement in ensuring the virtual format effectively supports student learning and engagement.
