Cloverleaf Elementary

Summary:

Cloverleaf Elementary is a public elementary school in Statesville, North Carolina, serving 464 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Troutman Elementary and East Iredell Elementary, Cloverleaf Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly lower academic performance than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.9% of 3rd graders at Cloverleaf were proficient in reading, compared to 49.4% for the district and 48.7% for the state.

Cloverleaf's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (26.94%) and Hispanic (22.63%) students, as well as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (72.84%), may contribute to the academic achievement gaps observed between the school and its neighbors. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Cloverleaf, the persistent underperformance across multiple student subgroups suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the root causes of the school's academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote My son has been held back twice and still isn't on his grade level. They won't test him for learning disabilities they just let him struggle. This is a HORRIBLE school. Close Quote

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.
