Summary:
The city of Wickliffe, Ohio is home to two schools - Wickliffe Lower School, an elementary school serving grades PK-6, and Wickliffe Upper School, a high school serving grades 7-12. Both schools are part of the Wickliffe City School District, which is ranked 512 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wickliffe Upper School stands out with an impressive 99.1% 4-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year and strong performance on state tests in American History (80.4% proficient or better) and Biology (77.1% proficient or better). In contrast, Wickliffe Lower School demonstrates relatively high math proficiency rates for 3rd and 4th grade students, exceeding state averages, but struggles more in 5th and 6th grade math. Both schools have room for improvement on English Language Arts proficiency, particularly in the middle school grades.
However, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates exceeding 27% in 2024-2025 and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates around 35%. The district's low ranking and 2-star rating suggest opportunities for improvement across the district, and understanding the drivers behind this lower performance could help identify ways to elevate the quality of education for students in Wickliffe.
