Cloverland Elementary · Oakdale

Cloverland Elementary: Most kids here clear the bar, year after year. The question is what happens after that.

Cloverland posts 58% meeting the standard, and 25.7% going well past it. Most kids here keep up. Fewer get pushed further. Ask the school what it does for a child who already finds the work easy.

Cloverland Elementary scores 50 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 67th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.

Most rating sites would stop at “58% proficient” and call it done. Cloverland deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oakdale, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

Worth a school visit

Ask how the school challenges kids who clear the standard early. The gap between meeting and exceeding is where pacing shows.

  • Ask what typically leads to a suspension, and what happens before it gets there.
  • Ask what changes between grade 3 and grade 5 here, and who teaches the older kids.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.

Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.

What are Cloverland Elementary's CAASPP test scores?

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 57.7% of students at Cloverland Elementary met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 25.7% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 32.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 25.7% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 366 student-subject combinations were assessed.

How does Cloverland Elementary rank in California?

Cloverland Elementary ranks #1,912 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 67th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.

Is Cloverland Elementary getting better or worse?

Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Cloverland Elementary decreases by 4.0 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.

What is the attendance and school culture like at Cloverland Elementary?

15.0% of students at Cloverland Elementary are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 5.5%. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
