Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community Middle

The area served by Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community Middle contains just one school: a middle school serving grades 7 and 8 in Cleveland, Ohio, with 35 students enrolled. Because it is the only school in the Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community Middle district, there are no other local schools to compare it with. The district ranks 761 of 773 statewide — 2nd percentile with 0 stars — and the school's own 2025–26 rank history is 994 of 1,046, 5th percentile with 0 stars. Rank percentile moved from 21 in 2023–24 to 28 in 2024–25, then fell to 5 in 2025–26, while stars dropped from 1 to 0.

Academically, results are uneven. The one clearly above-state result came in 2024–25, when 7th Grade English Language Arts proficiency was 75% against a state average of 62.9%. In 2025–26, however, all five reported test results fell below state averages: 8th Grade Science at 25% versus 61.2%, 7th Grade Mathematics at 0% versus 48.6%, 8th Grade Mathematics at 5% versus 52%, 7th Grade ELA at 20% versus 62.7%, and 8th Grade ELA at 19% versus 58.3%. Chronic absenteeism was 73.7% in 2025–26, meaning roughly three in four students were chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–25, and per-student spending was $9,686 in 2018–19. Free/reduced lunch data is blank for 2024–25 and should be treated as unknown.

A few caveats matter for parents. With only 35 students across two grades, percentages rest on very small numbers — one or two students can shift a result by many points, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously, and the apparent drop from 75% to 19% in ELA may not reflect the same group of students. Chronic absenteeism is available only for 2025–26, so no attendance trend can be established, and the spending figure is from 2018–19 and may not reflect current resources. Overall, the school's strongest recorded result was 2024–25 7th Grade ELA at 75%, but low rankings, high absenteeism, and broad 2025–26 underperformance — especially in math — indicate significant challenges.
