The Clever R-V school district in Missouri is home to two schools: Clever Elementary, which serves grades PK-8, and Clever High, which serves grades 9-12.

Clever Elementary boasts a larger student enrollment of 943 students, compared to Clever High's 394 students. The elementary school also has a higher percentage of white students (94.17%) compared to the high school (92.64%), as well as a greater proportion of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (28.95% vs. 23.86%). Academically, Clever Elementary stands out, with its math proficiency rates consistently exceeding the Clever R-V district and Missouri state averages, particularly in grades 3 and 4.

While the high school's academic performance may be more variable, it maintains a similar spending per student and student-teacher ratio as the elementary school, suggesting a relatively equitable distribution of resources across the Clever R-V district.
