Summary

Sunbeam is a PK–8 school serving 450 students at 11731 Mount Overlook Ave in Cleveland, OH 44120, part of the Cleveland Municipal district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1539th of 1560 Ohio schools — the 1st percentile with 0 stars — while its district ranked 689th of 773 (11th percentile, 1 star). Across the available history, Sunbeam has never risen above the 7th percentile and has earned 0 stars every year.

Test results are near the bottom statewide. A simple average of Sunbeam's 14 reported 2025–2026 proficiency figures is about 10.5%, versus roughly 30.7% for the district and 60.1% for Ohio. Math in grades 3–8 ranged from 2.5% to 12.5% proficient, ELA from 11.8% to 22.5%, 5th grade science was 8.5%, and 8th grade science 3%. Sunbeam scored below its own district in every reported subject and grade — 3rd grade math was 12.5% versus the district's 33.6%. Nearby schools in other districts look very different: Onaway Elementary School (70th percentile, 4 stars), Roxboro Elementary School (64th percentile, 3 stars), and Fairfax Elementary School (49th percentile, 2 stars), all within about two miles, report proficiency often in the 50–80% range. Chronic absenteeism is 50.0% at Sunbeam, compared with 10.3% at Onaway, 18.6% at Roxboro, and 24.2% at Fairfax.

Absenteeism is a relative bright spot: down from 64.6% in 2021–2022 to 50.0%, better than the district average of 54.3% and same-district neighbors Nathan Hale School (54.3%), Bolton (68.6%), and Anton Grdina (72.2%). Still, half of students are chronically absent. Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy, about 0.6 miles away, has similar absenteeism (48.0%) but ranks in the 48th percentile, suggesting attendance alone does not explain results. Subgroup performance is low across the board, and special education students fell from the 10th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 1st percentile in 2025–2026. The student–teacher ratio is 16:1, mid-range nearby, and per-student spending ($9,099) is only reported for 2018–2019.
