Summary

Cleveland Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia, serving 251 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Atlanta Public Schools district, which is ranked 139 out of 206 districts in the state.

Cleveland Avenue Elementary School has consistently struggled with academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages, with only 7-28% of students meeting proficiency standards in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 34.9-43%. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Cleveland Avenue Elementary School's academic performance is the lowest, with its 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.9%) and Mathematics (18.6%) being much lower than the district averages (39.1% and 35.2%, respectively).

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.82% to 100% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,397 to $20,987, the school's student-teacher ratio has been relatively high, ranging from 8 to 10.9 students per teacher, which may indicate a need for more instructional resources to address the academic challenges faced by the school and its community.
