Washington

Cloverdale is a small, tight-knit wine country town at the northern edge of Sonoma County, where the pace is slower and families tend to know each other well — but Washington Intermediate's academic numbers suggest the school is a work in progress, with scores sitting well below state averages across English, math, and science. Families who are weighing their options here may want to ask questions about classroom support, tutoring resources, and how the school is working to close those gaps. That said, for families rooted in the Cloverdale community, supplementing with outside enrichment could make a real difference during these critical middle school years.
