The school also has low dropout rates, ranging from 0.7% to 5.2% in recent years, better than the state average. However, the school's test scores on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, though the school performs better in reading and writing assessments compared to the state.

Compared to the only nearby school in the same district, the Kentucky Virtual Academy, which serves a larger student population of 937 students, Cloverport Independent School generally performs better on most academic metrics, including test scores and graduation rates. However, the school's test scores have been inconsistent over the years, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,724 to $16,302 in recent years, which is above the state average, suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to improve student outcomes.
