Cloverdale Unified

The Cloverdale Unified school district in California serves students from elementary through high school, with 4 schools in the district including 1 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 continuation). The data reveals a mixed picture, with some standout schools but also significant challenges across the district.

Jefferson Elementary is the highest-performing school, with the best test scores in the district, but also faces high chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, Washington Middle School and Cloverdale High School lag behind state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's continuation high school, Johanna Echols-Hansen High, stands out with an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, despite serving a high-need student population.

Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the district, ranging from 29.5% at Washington Middle School to 46.4% at Johanna Echols-Hansen High. The schools also serve a predominantly low-income population, with free/reduced lunch rates as high as 62.2% at Jefferson Elementary, suggesting equity challenges that the district will need to address. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gap and ensure all students in the Cloverdale Unified district have access to a high-quality education.
