Cloverleaf Local School District was formed in 1957 as a consolidation of the formerly independent local schools of Lodi, Leroy (now known as Westfield Center), Seville, Chatham, and Lafayette, as well as the vast rural areas between them (including the Chippewa Lake area). Cloverleaf Senior High School opened in 1960 and graduated its first class in 1961. At one time, the Cloverleaf Local School District comprised the largest geographical school district in the State of Ohio.Шаблон:Citation needed In the 2004-2005 school year, the district switched from individual K-6 elementary schools in each town to the current "elementary center" configuration.
