The district as a whole is ranked 697 out of 828 districts in Ohio and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the schools.

The standout schools in the district are Garfield Heights High School and Garfield Heights Middle School, both of which have consistently ranked in the bottom 20% and 10% of schools in Ohio, respectively, over the past 3 years. These schools struggle with extremely low proficiency rates on state tests, ranging from 2.5% to 57.8%, as well as very high chronic absenteeism rates of 56.7%.

The other schools in the district, including William Foster Elementary, Maple Leaf Elementary, and Elmwood Elementary, also show signs of struggle, with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. The district's challenges appear to be systemic, with little evidence of improvement over time, and may require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying issues and support student success.
