Summary

Charles A Mooney School is a PK–8 elementary school serving 305 students on Montclair Avenue in Cleveland's Old Brooklyn neighborhood, part of the Cleveland Municipal school district. It ranks in the 12th percentile of Ohio schools with 1 star — the lowest ranking of the eleven nearby schools compared here — and it has never earned a 2-star rating in the ten years of history shown.

The most encouraging trend is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell 24 points over five years, from 66.3% in 2021–22 to 42.1% in 2025–26, which is better than the district's 54.3% and better than five of ten neighboring schools. The school also has the second-smallest student–teacher ratio in its comparison group (13.2), bettered only by much smaller Cleveland Preparatory Academy (10.7). Academically, results climbed to a peak of the 26th percentile in 2023–24, then slid back to the 12th. The sharpest pattern is a grade-band split: in grades 3–5, Mooney's math proficiency (37.6%) beats the district's (30.9%), while in grades 6–8 it trails the district in every subject. Eighth grade is the weakest point, with math at 6.9%, ELA at 9.4%, and science at 16.1%.

Nearby schools show what is achievable close by. Two district peers, William Rainey Harper (47th percentile, 2 stars) and Denison (32nd, 2 stars), both reach 2 stars about a mile away with larger classes. Constellation Schools: Old Brooklyn Community Elementary sits 0.16 miles away at the 14th percentile, and Global Village Academy, under two miles away, serves a heavily low-income population on lower per-student spending yet ranks in the 66th percentile with 3 stars and 4.6% chronic absenteeism. Within Mooney itself, male, low-income, and special education students all currently sit in the bottom sixth of Ohio schools.
