Summary

Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy is a K–8 school serving 388 students at 10701 Shaker Blvd in Cleveland, OH, and it operates as its own district in the state data. For 2025–26, the school ranked 806 of 1,560 Ohio schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), down from 388 of 1,558 (75th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–25, but still well above its bottom-decile years of 6th percentile in 2018–19 and 14th percentile in 2021–22. As a district, it ranks 367 of 773 (53rd percentile, 3 stars).

Compared with nearby schools, CASA's results are striking in science and selected middle grades. In 2025–26, 100% of its 5th and 8th graders were proficient in science, versus state rates of 62.7% and 61.2%; 7th-grade math was 81.1 (state 48.6) and 4th-grade ELA 72.5. That places it far above nearby Cleveland Municipal schools such as Nathan Hale School (7th-grade math 16.1), Dike School of Arts (7.7), Sunbeam (4.3), Bolton (8.3) and Anton Grdina (0). But results are uneven: 3rd-grade math is 40 at CASA, below Nathan Hale's 53.1 and Bolton's 56.3. Against Onaway Elementary School and Roxboro Elementary School, CASA is mixed: it leads in science and tops Roxboro in 4th-grade ELA, yet trails badly in early math and reading, where 3rd-grade math is 78.7 and 81.1 at those schools versus 40 at CASA.

The biggest concerns are attendance and inconsistency. Chronic absenteeism is 48.0%, roughly flat from 48.1% — better than the Cleveland Municipal figure of 54.3% and several nearby schools, but far above Onaway's 10.3% and Roxboro's 18.6%. Results also swing sharply by grade and year: 8th-grade math is 18.6% and 8th-grade ELA 39.5%, and several scores that were very high in 2024–25 fell in 2025–26. Subgroup rankings are a bright spot, with African American students at the 84th percentile (4 stars) and low-income students at the 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26. Staffing is 17.6 students per teacher, and the only available spending figure, $7,532 per student in 2018–19, is the lowest among nearby comparators and may not reflect current funding.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, April 23, 2012

I have never been so disgusted then I was with CASSA. It was a terrible experience for my child. I came into the building one day and saw a parent hitting their child in the bathroom and their child was screaming. I heard students swearing at their teachers. The principal did nothing to create a safe environment since she allowed students to act that way. I would NEVER send my child back there again! Close Quote
