Cloverdale Middle School

Summary:

Cloverdale Middle School is a public middle school located in Little Rock, Arkansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 665 students. The school is part of the Little Rock School District, which is ranked 189 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cloverdale Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Arkansas, with a statewide ranking between 307-329 out of 335 middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. Additionally, Cloverdale Middle School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.06% to 100% over the past 3 years, much higher than the district and state averages. Despite spending $15,678 per student, which is higher than the spending at nearby schools like Pulaski Heights Middle School ($13,746) and Mann Magnet Middle School ($12,295), Cloverdale Middle School is still struggling to improve student outcomes.

When comparing Cloverdale Middle School to other middle schools in the area, it is clear that Cloverdale is significantly underperforming academically. For example, Pulaski Heights Middle School and Lisa Academy West Middle School, which are both within a 6-mile radius, have proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher than Cloverdale across all subject areas. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Cloverdale Middle School may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, and the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
