Summary:

Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cloverdale, Indiana, with 684 students. While the school has lower academic performance compared to state and district averages, particularly in math, it stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism rates and low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (39.95%) and Math (31.59%) for all grades are below the Cloverdale Community Schools district averages and the state averages. The school's math performance is especially low, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.88% in 6th grade to 40.96% in 3rd grade, compared to state averages of 38.1% to 52.4%. However, the school's 8th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate (55.38%) is higher than both the district (44.44%) and state (42.6%) averages.

Despite the academic challenges, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy stands out in other areas. The school has very low chronic absenteeism rates, with just 0.1% in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the nearby Cloverdale Elementary School, which had a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, Cloverdale Distance Learning Academy has a much lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (2.63%) compared to Cloverdale Elementary (75%). This demographic difference suggests the virtual school model may be attracting a more homogeneous student population compared to the traditional public schools in the area.

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.
