Summary

Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 386 students in grades K-8 in Cleveland, Ohio. The school is part of the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy District, which is ranked 200 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating.

Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, 96.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school's Mathematics performance is also strong, with 78.6% of 3rd graders, 90.6% of 4th graders, and 96.4% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average and others lagging behind.

While Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy outperforms nearby public schools in the Cleveland Municipal and Shaker Heights City districts, it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.7% in 2023-2024 to 83.3% in 2020-2021. This issue is not unique to the school, as several nearby public schools also struggle with chronic absenteeism. To ensure continued academic success, the school should focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving its performance in English Language Arts, particularly at the upper grade levels.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, April 23, 2012

I have never been so disgusted then I was with CASSA. It was a terrible experience for my child. I came into the building one day and saw a parent hitting their child in the bathroom and their child was screaming. I heard students swearing at their teachers. The principal did nothing to create a safe environment since she allowed students to act that way. I would NEVER send my child back there again! Close Quote
