Summary

George Washington Carver is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 352 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Washington Carver has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 38.8% to 57.0% in recent years, and very low proficiency rates on state tests, often lagging 20-40 percentage points behind the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 14.3% of 5th graders were proficient in science, 25% were proficient in 5th grade math, and 46.4% were proficient in 5th grade English language arts.

While George Washington Carver spends more per student than nearby schools like Bolton, Dike School of Arts, and Campus International School, this additional funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues, such as high chronic absenteeism and low socioeconomic status of the student population, will be crucial for improving the school's performance.
