Public Grades PK, KG-8

1474^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,560 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 6% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Andrew J Rickoff is a PK–8 elementary school serving 391 students on Cleveland's east side, part of the Cleveland Municipal district, and it ranks 1,474th of 1,560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 — the 6th percentile, with 0 stars.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's most striking challenge: 65.5% in 2025–2026, the highest among all the nearby schools listed and well above the district's 54.3%. While the district improved from 62.3% to 54.3% since 2021–2022, Andrew J Rickoff moved the other direction, from 60.0% to 65.5%. Test proficiency runs from 5% to 33.3% across tested subjects and grades, mostly below district averages and far below Ohio averages. The steepest weaknesses are upper-grade literacy and science: 8th grade ELA at 5.3%, 7th grade ELA at 6.7%, 8th grade science at 7.9%, and 4th grade math at 5%.

There are bright spots, though. Fifth grade math hit 33.3% proficiency, above the district's 26.4%, and also beat the district in 2024–2025 and 2022–2023; 8th grade math topped the district in 2024–2025. Among same-district neighbors, Andrew J Rickoff ranks above Charles Dickens School and Robert H Jamison School, both at the 1st percentile, but below Nathan Hale School (12th percentile). Nearby Shaker Heights City schools contrast sharply: Onaway Elementary School, Fernway Elementary School, and Lomond Elementary School land between the 38th and 70th percentiles with 3–4 stars and chronic absenteeism of 7.7%–21.9%. Class size and per-student spending look similar to other Cleveland schools, so those alone don't explain the gap, and smaller nearby SMART Academy ranks in the 32nd percentile with 2 stars. Overall, Rickoff remains among Ohio's lowest-performing schools.
