North Shore High School

Public, Charter Grades 9-12

Summary

North Shore High School is a public charter high school located in Garfield Heights, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the North Shore High School District, which is ranked 804 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Shore High School consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Ohio high schools, with rankings between 815-831 out of 864-855 schools. This is reflected in their test scores, which are significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school has had extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from just 3.6% in 2021-2022 to 42.2% in 2024-2025, in stark contrast to the high graduation rates of nearby schools like Shaker Hts High School (94.1%) and Maple Heights High School (92.9%). North Shore High School has also been plagued by an alarming chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 100% in the 2020-2021 school year, more than 4 times the rate of the nearby high-performing schools.

The data reveals that North Shore High School's low performance extends across all student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio high schools for female, male, African American, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. This suggests that the school is facing deep-rooted, systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to address the underlying issues and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
