Summary

Albert Bushnell Hart is an elementary school located in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 237 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.

Albert Bushnell Hart has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 45.1% to 56.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Cleveland Municipal district average and the state average. The school's test score performance is also generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts 10-30 percentage points below the district and state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Consequently, Albert Bushnell Hart is consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The challenges faced by Albert Bushnell Hart appear to be systemic, as evidenced by the relatively low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates of nearby Nathan Hale School and Miles Park School, also within the Cleveland Municipal district. In contrast, Cuyahoga Hts Elementary School, which is outside the district, has significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, highlighting the potential impact of district-level factors on school performance.
