Summary

Albert Bushnell Hart is a small PK–8 school at 3900 E 75th St in Cleveland's 44105 ZIP, enrolling 249 students in a high-poverty east-side neighborhood and operated by Cleveland Municipal. On the 2025-26 statewide ranking it placed 1,318 of 1,560 schools (16th percentile, 1 star), still in the bottom fifth of Ohio schools, though its two most recent years are the best of the past decade after a long stretch in the 3rd–11th percentile band. Its parent district ranks 689 of 773 Ohio districts, so every comparison below happens inside a low-performing system.

Two things stand out as real strengths. First, attendance: chronic absenteeism is 48.9%, below the district's 54.3% and the second-lowest among the ten nearby schools, ahead of Nathan Hale School, Anton Grdina, and Mound Elementary School, which run 70% or higher. Second, 8th-grade science: 88.9% proficiency against a state average of 61.2% and a district figure of 28.3%, the only Hart test that beats the state — and it has done so four years running. Class sizes are also the smallest among the district's PK–8 comparators, at a 15.5 student-teacher ratio.

Results are uneven by grade. Fourth and 8th grades are comparatively strong, while 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades are clear priorities — 5th grade has been weak for four straight years, and 3rd-grade math dropped sharply. Special education students ranked at the 41st percentile, well above the school's overall standing. Families should also know about nearby alternatives competing for the same students: Northstar School of Innovation & Leadership, a charter 0.76 miles away, averaged far higher proficiency across the middle grades.
