However, the school's performance for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is less impressive. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.9 students per teacher is relatively low compared to nearby schools. Despite these strengths, Cleaveland Traditional Magnet's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 317 out of 678 Kansas elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 555 out of 653 in 2023-2024.

This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted strategies to support student learning and address the needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, in order to improve its academic performance and overall quality.
