Summary

Lincoln Park Academy is a K–8 school at 3185 W 41st St in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 236 students as its own standalone district rather than as part of Cleveland Municipal.

The school's overall rank has climbed steadily, from the 2nd percentile in 2015–16 to the 31st percentile (1,082 of 1,560 schools, 2 stars) in 2025–26 — its best showing in the past decade, though it still falls in the bottom third of Ohio schools. The most pressing issue is chronic absenteeism: 69.2% in 2025–26, or roughly seven in ten students, and it has stayed near or above 63% every year since 2021–22. Test results are uneven. Grade 8 math (88.2% proficient vs. 52% statewide), grade 7 math (64.3%) and grade 5 math (60.9%) beat state averages, but grade 8 ELA (11.8% vs. 58.3%), grade 7 ELA (28.6%), grade 6 math (17.9%) and grade 4 ELA (29.6%) trail well behind.

Among nearby schools, Lincoln Park lands in the middle-to-lower range. It generally outperforms the lowest performers such as Orchard School, Luis Munoz Marin School and Constellation Schools: Stockyard Community Elementary, and its grade 8 math result is higher than Buhrer, Clark School and Paul L Dunbar Elementary School. But those three schools usually post stronger reading and science results and much lower absenteeism, and Menlo Park Academy, 0.59 miles away, ranks at the 81st percentile with only 17.1% chronic absenteeism. Class sizes are reasonable at 15.7 students per teacher (2024–25), though 2018–19 per-student spending of $7,208 was the lowest in this comparison group. With just 236 students, per-grade percentages can also swing sharply from year to year.
