Summary

Buhrer is an elementary school in the Cleveland Municipal District in Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with 406 students. While the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, it stands out as a relatively high-performing school within its district, outperforming many of its nearby peers.

Buhrer's students demonstrate strong academic performance, with 71.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to 27% for the Cleveland Municipal district and 63.4% for the state. Similarly, 75.7% of Buhrer's 8th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly higher than the 24.7% for the district and 47.6% for the state. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 51.5% to 56.1% in recent years, and the performance of certain student subgroups, such as special education and gifted/talented students.

Interestingly, Buhrer outperforms most of the nearby district schools, including Walton School, Tremont Montessori, Paul L. Dunbar, Orchard, and Denison. However, the nearby Menlo Park Academy, a charter school, significantly outperforms Buhrer across all subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that school choice and alternative educational models may be contributing to higher student achievement in the area.
