Summary

Anton Grdina is an alternative public school serving grades PK-9 in the Cleveland Municipal school district, with 294 students. The school has a low district ranking of 675 out of 828 in Ohio and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Anton Grdina faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 51.5% to 66.7% over the past few years, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also alarmingly low across all grade levels and subjects compared to the Cleveland Municipal district and the state of Ohio. For example, in 2024-2025, only 0% of 5th graders were proficient in Math and Science, compared to 24.5% and 27% respectively for the district. Despite higher-than-average spending per student at $12,706 in 2018-2019, the school's academic outcomes still lag significantly behind.

When compared to nearby alternative schools in the Cleveland Municipal district, such as Glenville High School and Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy, Anton Grdina consistently underperforms across key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's status as an alternative serving a potentially high-needs population may be contributing factors to its low academic performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its students.
