Summary

Luis Munoz Marin School is a PK–8 school at 1701 Castle Ave on Cleveland's near west side, serving 483 students as part of the Cleveland Municipal district. It sits at the very bottom of Ohio's statewide rankings: 1538th of 1560 schools in 2025–2026, the 1st percentile with 0 stars — and it has never risen above the 4th percentile in the past decade.

Test results are extremely low. Across its 14 reported grade-level tests, the school's average is about 11% proficient, compared with roughly 31% for Cleveland Municipal and 60% for Ohio. The strongest result is 5th grade English language arts at 31.3%; the weakest is 8th grade math at 2.6%, with 6th grade math and 6th grade ELA close behind at 4.9%. The contrast with nearby Buhrer is striking: just 0.22 miles away, with a nearly identical student-teacher ratio (18.4 vs. 18.5), Buhrer is a 2-star school at the 35th percentile with average proficiency around 56%. Other nearby schools — Scranton (25th percentile) and Tremont Montessori (14th) — also outperform it, while Menlo Park Academy, which spends less per student, ranks at the 81st percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is 53.2%, improved from 79.0% in 2021–2022 and now slightly better than the district's 54.3%, though still high. Subgroup rankings are near the bottom statewide for every reported group — from the 5th percentile down to 0 — including English language learners, low-income students, and students with disabilities. Per-student spending ($11,371 in 2018–2019) and its student-teacher ratio (18.5 in 2024–2025) are mid-range among nearby schools, so resources alone do not explain the gap. Math proficiency did rise in every tested grade from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and 5th grade ELA jumped from 11.4% to 31.3% — encouraging signs, but from a very low base.
