Cloverdale Middle School opened in 1956 and is named for the neighborhood in which it is located. Cloverdale is the only middle school in LRSD that is a Healing and Resilience Centered School. This model of education promotes mastery-based learning, culturally responsive teaching, and trauma responsive schooling. This translates into students not only completing a rigorous core curriculum, but also provides exposure to college and career literacy courses, and social and emotional learning. In addition to these pillars of the School Wellness Wheel, Cloverdale offers electives such as Aerospace, Art, AVID, Band, Choir, and Career and Technical Education to help students expand their knowledge and interests. Also, Verizon partners with Cloverdale through its Verizon Innovative Learning Schools initiative by providing Apple iPads for students, teachers, and administrators. The VILS initiative goals are designed to increase student achievement and increase both student and teacher tech and STEM proficiency. Extracurricular activities such as sports, JROTC and VILS after school tutoring programs round out what we offer here are Cloverdale. All these ideas and programs together create a school community that promotes the growth of the whole student by providing preparation for a limitless future.
