Summary

Mary B Martin School is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-10 with a total enrollment of 226 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mary B Martin School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 51.5% to 65.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are also significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.5% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 33.6% in the district and 61.3% statewide. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.9 to 13.4 over the past few years.

When comparing Mary B Martin School to other nearby schools in the Cleveland Municipal district, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically across all subjects and grade levels. For instance, the Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy, which is also an alternative school in the same district, has significantly higher proficiency rates in several subjects, such as American Government and American History. Addressing the challenges at Mary B Martin School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
