Summary

Constellation Schools: Puritas Community Middle is a small public charter middle school in Cleveland, OH, serving grades 5–8 with 97 students, and it ranks near the bottom of Ohio schools — 812 of 1,046 (22nd percentile, 1 star) in 2025–26, down from 727 of 1,036 (30th percentile, 2 stars) the year before. That continues a decade-long slide from around the 43rd percentile in 2015–16 and 2016–17.

In 2025–26, every reported subject and grade fell below the state average, with math the clearest problem: 7th grade math was 4.2%, and no math grade topped 15.8%, versus 48.6%–59.1% statewide. Nearby schools score far higher — 7th grade math was 39.3% at Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Middle, 43.2% at Garfield Middle School, and 92% at Rocky River Middle School. 7th grade ELA is the bright spot at 58.3%, close to the state's 62.7%, though other grades (5th and 6th at 40%, 8th at 38.9%) lag. 8th grade science fell to 38.9% after sitting at or near the state level the previous two years.

Chronic absenteeism is the most alarming number: 53.3% in 2025–26, up from 35.1%. That is far above Lewis F Mayer Middle School (14.2%), Harding Middle School (14.8%), and Rocky River (9.5%), though below Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community Middle (73.7%). Puritas reports the lowest per-student spending in the comparison group ($5,776 in 2018–19), yet same-network Westpark spends more and performs better — so money and class size alone do not explain the gap. Puritas is not the lowest performer in its network, but it trails nearly every nearby district school.
