Summary

Daniel E Morgan School is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 290 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.

Daniel E Morgan School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 41.7% to 56.1% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Cleveland Municipal district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 27% for the district and 63.4% for the state. Despite spending $12,929 per student, which is higher than many nearby schools, and fluctuating student-teacher ratios, the school has not shown significant improvement in its academic performance over the past few years.

When comparing Daniel E Morgan School to nearby schools within the Cleveland Municipal district, such as Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy, Cleveland Metro Remote School K-12, and Glenville High School, it becomes clear that Daniel E Morgan is one of the lower-performing schools in the district, with these nearby schools generally having higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. To address the challenges faced by Daniel E Morgan School, the district and school leadership may need to focus on strategies to improve student attendance, provide more targeted academic support, and create a more positive and engaging school environment.
