Collinwood High School's graduation rates have ranged from 50.0% to 66.1% over the past five school years, much lower than the state average of around 80-85% and the Cleveland Municipal district average of around 50%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41.0% to 90.9%, significantly higher than the state average of around 15-20% and the Cleveland Municipal district average of around 50-60%.

Interestingly, the data shows that nearby alternative schools, such as John Adams College & Career Academy, East Technical High School, and Glenville High School, which also serve predominantly African American student populations, have slightly higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic performance compared to Collinwood High School. Additionally, virtual schools in the area have significantly higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic performance, suggesting that the virtual learning environment may be more effective for some students. The data also indicates that Ginn Academy, located just 0.83 miles from Collinwood High School, has a higher graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism, which may be attributed to its specific educational approach and support systems.
