Summary

East Clark is a PK–8 school in the Cleveland Municipal district, located at 885 E 146th St in Cleveland’s Collinwood/North Shore area, serving 158 students and rated 1 star.

The most striking issue is chronic absenteeism: 70.5% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, the highest in its comparison set and well above the district’s 54.3%. That rate has worsened by roughly 22 percentage points in two years. By contrast, Kenneth W Clement, a same-district PK–8 school 0.69 miles away, has 28.0% chronic absenteeism. Proficiency is also low: the school’s average across reported 2025–2026 state test results was about 19.6% proficient, compared with 31.5% for the district and 60.8% statewide. The school exceeded its district average in only 2 of 12 results. There are bright spots—4th grade math at 47.1% and 5th grade ELA at 43.5%—but middle grades are weak, including 0% in 8th grade math.

Compared with nearby schools, the school is near the bottom but not alone. Apex Academy is the strongest local performer at 35th percentile with 2 stars, and Euclid Park has some bright spots; Stephanie Tubbs Jones (0th percentile) and East Academy (3rd percentile) are worse off. The school’s small size—158 students—means year-to-year test swings can be noisy, so sustained patterns matter more than any single year. The clearest takeaways for parents: the absenteeism crisis is the most urgent problem, the middle grades need the most academic attention, and the school’s own 2023–2024 absenteeism rate of 48.6% shows better outcomes are possible.
