Summary:
The city of Maple Heights, Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates across the board.
While Ohio College Preparatory School, a public charter school, appears to be the highest performing in the district with stronger test scores compared to the other schools, the remaining schools in Maple Heights City generally perform well below the state average on Ohio state assessments. Maple Heights High School stands out with a strong 92.9% four-year graduation rate, despite its relatively low test scores.
A key concern across the district is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.6% to 56.9%, which likely contribute to the low test scores. The per-student spending across the district is relatively consistent, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement, are more significant drivers of the performance differences. Addressing these systemic challenges should be a top priority for district leaders and the community.
