High Schools in Cleveland Municipal

The Cleveland Municipal district in Ohio is home to 27 high schools that serve students in grades 6-12 and 9-12, with student populations ranging from 128 to 619. The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, highlighting the need for the district to identify and replicate the successful practices of the high-achieving schools.

Among the standout schools are the Cleveland School of Science & Medicine, which ranks 223rd out of 855 Ohio high schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the Cleveland Early College High, which ranks 80th out of 855 and is rated 5 out of 5 stars, and the Cleveland School of Architecture & Design, which ranks 125th out of 855 and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. These schools consistently outperform the Cleveland Municipal district and state averages, indicating they are providing a high-quality education to their students.

However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the district, such as a consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 55.7% across all schools and a wide range of performance on state tests, with some schools struggling to achieve single-digit proficiency in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I. The variation in spending per student, ranging from $11,260 at Max S Hayes High School to $16,748 at the Cleveland School of Architecture & Design, also raises questions about the district's resource allocation and whether it is equitable across all schools.
