Summary

Scranton School is a PK–8 elementary school at 1991 Barber Ave in Cleveland, OH, serving 495 students in the Cleveland Municipal School District, which ranks near the bottom statewide (689th of 773 districts, 11th percentile, 1 star). Scranton’s 2025–26 state rank is 1170th of 1560 schools (25th percentile, 1 star)—its highest in the provided history, up from 21st, 20th, and 12th in prior years. It remains a 1-star school, but the trend is upward.

Among nearby same-district schools, Scranton School places third, behind Buhrer (35th percentile, 2 stars) and Paul L Dunbar Elementary School (30th, 2 stars), and ahead of Joseph M Gallagher School (15th), Tremont Montessori School (14th), Orchard School (5th), and Luis Munoz Marin School (1st). Menlo Park Academy is far ahead (81st, 4 stars), Lincoln Park Academy slightly ahead (31st, 2 stars), and Horizon Science Academy-Denison Middle School behind (13th, 1 star). Scranton outperformed the district in every tested math grade (3–8), both science grades, and ELA grades 3–6; it fell below the district only in ELA grade 7 (26.7% vs. 34.7%) and grade 8 (18.9% vs. 29.8%). All scores were below state averages. Upper-grade literacy is the clearest gap: 7th ELA was 26.7% vs. 60.9% at Buhrer, 64.3% at Dunbar, and 60% at Tremont.

Chronic absenteeism is 46.9%, below the district’s 54.3% but still very high; it is lower than Dunbar (57.8%) and Lincoln (69.2%) but higher than Buhrer (27.1%) and Menlo (17.1%). The student-teacher ratio of 20.6 is the highest among nearby schools (e.g., Menlo 18.8, Buhrer 18.4, Tremont 12.2) and has risen from 17.9 in 2022–23. The school’s effectiveness for Hispanic students (58th percentile, 3 stars) and English Language Learner students (46th, 2 stars) ranks above its overall 25th percentile; special education students rank 18th percentile (1 star). Overall, Scranton is improving but remains low-ranked with upper-grade ELA, attendance, and class-size challenges.
