Broadway Academy

Schools in this area include just one school: Broadway Academy, an elementary school serving grades K–8 in Cleveland, Ohio, and it is also its own district, Broadway Academy. Enrollment is 475 students, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.4 for 2024–2025. Per-student spending is listed at $9,261, but that figure is from 2018–2019 and is too old to compare with current results. Free/reduced lunch data is blank, meaning the school's economic context is unknown rather than zero.

The headline for parents is rapid improvement. Broadway Academy rose from 1 star and the 17th percentile in 2023–2024, to 2 stars and the 37th percentile in 2024–2025, to 3 stars and the 60th percentile in 2025–2026 — a gain of 679 rank positions and 43 percentile points in two years. Test results moved with it: across all listed grade and subject tests, the simple average climbed from 53.3% proficient in 2024–2025 to 69.1% in 2025–2026, rising from below the state average to above it, while the state average moved only from 59.2% to 60.1%. Twelve of the 14 listed tests improved. Standouts in 2025–2026 include 5th-grade science at 97.8% and 8th-grade science at 97.5% (both roughly 35 points above state), 7th-grade math at 100%, 3rd-grade math at 92.3%, and 6th-grade math at 90%.

Two watch areas remain. Math is uneven: 5th-grade math is only 24.4% proficient versus 59.1% state, and 8th-grade math is 47.5% versus 52% state, even as grades 3, 6, and 7 excel. English Language Arts averages 55.5%, below the state's 62.1%, with grades 6, 7, and 8 below state — 8th grade at 37.5% versus 58.3% is the weakest. Chronic absenteeism is 58.4% for 2025–2026, so more than half of students are chronically absent, which can undercut academic progress. Note also that these are grade-level cross-sections, not student-growth measures, and no test scores here were suppressed.
