Summary

Cloverdale Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Cloverdale, Virginia, serving 234 students in Botetourt County Public Schools, one of Virginia's top-ranked districts. The school has long been well-regarded, but its most recent results mark a clear surge: Cloverdale now ranks 91st of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025-26 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), up from 233rd the prior year and its best showing since 2020-21. About 33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, making it relatively economically stable compared with many nearby schools.

What truly sets Cloverdale apart is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 2.2% — more than four times lower than the Botetourt County district average of 9.3% and nearly seven times lower than Virginia's 14.8% state average. Among nearby schools, only Bonsack Elementary (3.7%) comes close; Colonial Elementary sits at 8.6%, Greenfield Elementary at 8.5%, and Herman L. Horn Elementary at 9.7%, while some Roanoke City Public Schools exceed 20%. It's likely no coincidence that Cloverdale also beats the district and state in nearly every SOL subject tested. The school posts a 97.5% proficiency rate in 5th-grade reading — ahead of both Bonsack (94.7%) and Colonial (95.8%) — and hits 92.5% in 5th-grade math. Its support for students with disabilities is particularly impressive, ranking 18th of 420 schools statewide (top 5%).

Cloverdale achieves this top-100 status while spending a moderate $11,850 per pupil — less than Bonsack ($14,901), Mountain View Elementary ($13,687), and Preston Park Elementary ($12,313) — and the student-teacher ratio has improved from 14.8 to 12.4 in two years. Because the school is small, scores can swing from year to year; 5th-grade math jumped from 75% to 92.5% between last year and this year, so it's wise to watch multi-year trends. The one area for parents to monitor is the economically disadvantaged subgroup, which dropped from the 84th to the 44th percentile in one year. Overall, though, Cloverdale offers a positive, healthy learning environment with outstanding attendance, broad academic strength, and efficient use of resources.
