Summary:
East Academy is the only school in the East Academy district — a K–8 elementary/middle school at 15720 Kipling Ave in Cleveland, Ohio (44110) serving 192 students. Because the district contains just this one campus, district and school figures describe the same building, so every number below applies directly to this school.
Academically, the school sits near the bottom of Ohio's ranked schools. It placed 1517th of 1560 in 2025‑26 (3rd percentile, 0 stars), down from 1483rd of 1558 in 2024‑25 and 1369th of 1577 (1 star) in 2023‑24 — three consecutive years of decline. All 28 tested grade-and-subject results across both years fall below state averages, with gaps from about 6 points to nearly 59 points. The standout is 7th grade in 2025‑26: ELA at 56.3% and math at 37.5%, within roughly 6 and 11 points of the state. The weakest areas are science (6.3% average), 3rd grade ELA (5.6%), 5th grade science (4.2%), and two cells at 0%. Even so, overall proficiency rose from 14.2% to 17.7% year over year, and 7th grade recorded the largest gains. Since each tested grade has only about 8–25 students, a single student can move a grade's result by 4–12 points, so these swings are worth investigating rather than treating as fixed performance levels.
Two operational indicators stand out. Chronic absenteeism was 67.8% in 2025‑26 — roughly two in three students — while the student–teacher ratio of 12.8 (2024‑25) is comparatively favorable. Per-student spending is listed at $7,886, but that figure comes from 2018‑19, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so funding and economic context cannot be evaluated from this record.
