Summary:
Constellation Schools: Puritas Community Elementary is the only school serving the Constellation Schools: Puritas Community Elementary district — a small K–4 charter elementary school at 17720 Puritas Ave in Cleveland, OH 44135-2716, with 119 students and about 17 students per teacher in 2024–25. Because the district and the school are the same entity, there is no other school in this area to compare against; the useful comparisons are year over year, subject over subject, and against statewide averages.
The most important thing for parents to know is the direction of travel. In 2025–26, proficiency at this school sat in the low 20s to low 30s — 21.1% in grade 3 math, 30.8% in grade 4 math, 21.1% in grade 3 ELA, and 29.6% in grade 4 ELA — while state proficiency for those same tests was in the low 60s. Just a year earlier, the school's four-test average was 39.8%; it is now 25.7% (a drop of about 14 points), even though the state barely moved. The average gap to the state widened from roughly 24 points to roughly 38 points. Bottom line: in 2024–25 the state's proficiency was about 1.6 times the school's; now it is about 2.5 times.
The school's statewide rank also fell sharply — from the 19th percentile in 2023–24 to the 17th in 2024–25 to the 5th percentile in 2025–26, with 0 stars. Three of four tested subjects lost ground; grade 4 ELA was flat. Attendance is a major concern: 52.4% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, meaning more than half missed 10% or more of the year. Two caveats: grade-level cohorts are small, so a few students can move a percentage several points, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, while the $9,357 per-pupil spending figure is from 2018–19. The decline in scores and ranking is too large and consistent, however, to read as simple small-sample noise.
