Summary
Constellation Schools: Old Brooklyn Community Elementary is a K–4 elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving about 360 students and operating as its own single-school district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1,337 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 14th percentile — with 1 star, while its district ranked 708 of 773 (8th percentile, 0 stars). That district position is lower than every nearby district shown, including Global Village Academy (70th percentile), Parma City (40th), Brooklyn City (32nd), Cleveland Preparatory Academy (24th), and Cleveland Municipal (11th).
Academically, 2025–2026 proficiency was below the state in every tested grade and subject: 3rd grade math 33.3%, 4th grade math 46.4%, 3rd grade ELA 24.2%, and 4th grade ELA 39.1%, compared with state rates of 62.1%, 67.3%, 63.4%, and 61.8%. Its 24.2% in 3rd grade ELA was the lowest among the nearby schools compared, and 3rd grade math tied Charles A Mooney School and came in above only Horizon Science Academy-Denison Middle School. Thoreau Park Elementary School, John Muir Elementary School, Ridge-Brook Elementary School, Global Village Academy, and Brooklyn School all scored higher. Even so, results rose in all four tested areas from 2024–2025 — 3rd grade math +8.7 points, 4th grade math +20.5, 3rd grade ELA +8.3, and 4th grade ELA +11.3 — though gaps to the state remain 21–39 points.
Chronic absenteeism is a signature challenge: 42.9% in 2025–2026, improved from 55.3% but still far above the Parma schools (15.6%–22.9%), Global Village Academy (4.6%), Brooklyn School (23.4%), and William Rainey Harper (27.8%), and roughly matching Charles A Mooney School (42.1%). Subgroup results are uneven: Hispanic students ranked at the 32nd percentile (2 stars), the highest subgroup, while White students (7th percentile) and low-socioeconomic students (16th) were the lowest. The longer trend is concerning — from the 61st percentile with 3 stars in 2016–2017 to the 4th percentile in 2024–2025 — so the recent rebound is encouraging but modest. The clearest priorities are 3rd grade ELA, attendance, and low-income student outcomes.
