Summary

Memorial School is an elementary school located in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 367 students. It 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. Memorial School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1245-1564 out of around 1600 schools.

Memorial School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 49.8% to 56.1% in recent years, well above the district and state averages. Student performance on state assessments is also poor, with only 7.4% of 5th graders proficient in Science in 2024-2025, compared to 27% for the district and 63.4% statewide. Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are similarly low across all grade levels. However, the school's African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school.

The challenges faced by Memorial School are not unique, as nearby Oliver Hazard Perry Elementary, Euclid Park Elementary, and Hannah Gibbons-Nottingham Elementary also perform poorly and have similar low rankings. However, some charter schools in the area, such as Bella Academy of Excellence and Noble Academy-Cleveland, generally outperform Memorial School and the other district schools on test scores, despite serving similar student populations.
