Summary

East Technical High School is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 426 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cleveland Municipal School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

East Technical High School's struggles are evident in its low graduation rates, which have ranged from 47.2% to 76.5% in recent years, significantly lower than the state average and the rates of nearby high-performing schools like Cleveland School of Architecture & Design, Cleveland School of Science & Medicine, and Cleveland Early College High. The school also faces extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, more than double the state average and the rates of these nearby high-performing schools.

Academically, East Technical High School's students perform significantly below state and district averages on the Ohio State Tests across all subject areas, with proficiency rates often less than half the state averages. This achievement gap is particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving student engagement could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at East Technical High School.
