Summary

Clara E Westropp School is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 381 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clara E Westropp School consistently ranks in the bottom 30% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade math proficiency rate was 11.1% compared to the state average of 47.6%. The nearby Orchard Park Academy and Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Elementary generally perform better academically than Clara E Westropp School.

Clara E Westropp School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51.5% to 60.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in serving its special education and disabled student population, with higher rankings and star ratings in these subgroups compared to the overall school performance. However, addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as high poverty levels and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving student outcomes.
