The school has been at or near the bottom for a decade: every year from 2015–2016 through 2025–2026, its statewide percentile was 0–1. In 2025–2026, only about 10 schools in the state ranked below it.

Test proficiency is very low. In 2025–2026, 6 of 14 reported tests were 0%, and 12 of 14 were under 10%. The highest score, 4th-grade English language arts at 28.6%, was still below the district’s 34.9% and far below the state’s 61.8%. From 2022–2023 through 2025–2026, Anton Grdina was below the Cleveland Municipal district average in every reported subject and grade. Chronic absenteeism is a major barrier: it was 58.8% in 2023–2024, 66.7% in 2024–2025, and 72.2% in 2025–2026, compared with 54.3% for the district. Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 18.2, and per-student spending was $12,706 in 2018–2019.

Subgroup data shows no group above the 6th percentile statewide. Free/reduced-lunch data is missing, spending figures are old, and test scores are only one measure of school quality.
