Summary:
Cleveland Heights-University Heights City is an Ohio district serving about 5,019 students across 10 schools — seven elementary, two middle, and one high school — in the Cleveland Heights and University Heights area. The district as a whole ranks 516 of 773 in Ohio (33rd percentile) with 2 stars, but performance varies widely by school, from the 23rd percentile at Oxford Elementary to the 71st percentile at Canterbury Elementary. Test scores are mostly 2025-2026, spending figures are 2018-2019 per-student amounts, and free/reduced-lunch percentages are unavailable in this data.
Canterbury Elementary School is the clearest standout: 71st percentile, 4 stars, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at 12.6%, and strong scores in Math 3 (81.5), Math 4 (83.7), ELA 3 (83.1), and ELA 5 (80). It has risen from the 47th to 59th to 71st percentile over three years. Roxboro Elementary School follows at the 64th percentile with 3 stars and 18.6% absenteeism. Among middle schools, Roxboro Middle School (43rd percentile, 2 stars) and Baumgardner Middle School (30th percentile, 1 star) both post remarkable advanced-math results — Roxboro Geometry 95 and Algebra I 95.3, Baumgardner Algebra I 90.6 and Geometry 78.9 — far above state averages.
Cleveland Heights High School is the district's biggest challenge. It enrolls 34.2% of students but sits at the 27th percentile with 1 star, and 60.4% of students are chronically absent (district 37.9%; Canterbury 12.6%). Its 92.1% graduation rate is a strength, and Algebra I improved from 27.9 to 55.2. Oxford Elementary School (23rd percentile, 1 star) has weak spots in Science 5 (24.3), Math 4 (21.1), and ELA 4 (26.3), though ELA 3 is 73.7. Gearity Professional Development School sits at the 29th percentile with 21.4% absenteeism. Overall, literacy is a relative strength while math and science lag, and spending and class size show no simple relationship with outcomes.
