Summary

Adlai Stevenson School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Cleveland Municipal District, with 374 students. Despite being part of a district ranked 675 out of 828 in Ohio, Adlai Stevenson School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 51.5% to 56.1% in recent years, well above the Cleveland Municipal district and state averages. Its test scores are also consistently well below district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 3.1% of 5th graders proficient in math in 2024-2025, compared to 24.5% for the district and 56.7% statewide. The school struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools for female, male, African American, and low-socioeconomic status students, as well as in the bottom 50% for disabled students.

Interestingly, the nearby Onaway Elementary and Fernway Elementary schools in the Shaker Heights district, just a few miles away, have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall performance, highlighting the stark disparities in educational outcomes between the Cleveland Municipal and Shaker Heights districts despite their geographic proximity.
