Summary:
The Lake Erie Preparatory School district on Cleveland's east side contains just one school — Lake Erie Preparatory School, an elementary campus on Saint Clair Avenue serving grades K–8 with 291 students — so any comparison here is against Ohio state averages rather than against nearby peer schools.
Achievement sits well below the state overall. Using simple, unweighted averages of the listed grade-level tests, the school reached 27.3% proficiency in 2025–2026 against a state average of 60.1%, a gap of about 32.8 percentage points, wider than the roughly 25.4-point gap the year before. English language arts is the relative strength, averaging 39.5% versus 62.1% statewide, while math averaged 19.3% versus 57.6% and science only 14.8% versus about 62.0%. Science is the deepest concern: 5th-grade science was 12.9% and 8th-grade science 16.7% in 2025–2026, against state figures of 62.7% and 61.2%.
There are genuine bright spots within those numbers. Third-grade ELA jumped from 39.4% to 60.9%, finishing only 2.5 points below the state, and fifth-grade ELA improved from 54.8% to 61.3%. Math, by contrast, slipped sharply, including fifth grade (38.7% to 9.7%) and eighth grade (33.3% to 10.0%). Chronic absenteeism reached 63.4% in 2025–2026, meaning roughly 6 in 10 students were chronically absent. The school has held a 1-star rating in each listed year (16th–22nd percentile), the district ranks 699 of 773 with 0 stars, and the student/teacher ratio is 18.4. Note also that free/reduced lunch data is unknown, spending per student ($8,046) dates to 2018–2019, and year-over-year changes may reflect different student cohorts rather than the same students improving or declining.
