Summary

Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation is a grades 9–12 high school in the Cleveland Municipal district, located at 4600 Detroit Ave in Cleveland, OH, and enrolling 425 students. In 2025–2026, it ranked 623 of 795 schools in Ohio (22nd percentile, 1 star), a meaningful improvement from 2020–2021, when it ranked 777 of 819 (5th percentile, 0 stars). Recent years have been more stable, around the 22nd–25th percentile.

The school’s graduation rate is a relative strength: 88.5% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 79.6% and up sharply from 59.3% in 2022–2023. However, chronic absenteeism is a major challenge at 74.2%, far above the district’s 54.3%. Test scores are highly uneven. American Government (82.1% proficient) and Algebra I (65.4%) are above both district and state averages. Geometry is a severe weakness at 9.0%, while English II (39.1%) and American History (47.3%) are below state averages. Biology (48.2%) is above the district but below the state.

Among nearby same-district high schools, Garrett Morgan ranks second, just behind Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School and ahead of Cleveland High School for the Digital Arts. Its graduation rate is among the highest in that group, though its 17.7:1 student-teacher ratio is the highest among nearby same-district peers. A standout bright spot is English Language Learner students, who rank at the 95th percentile with 5 stars. Female students, low-SES students, and special education students remain near or below the school’s overall percentile. Compared with same-campus Garrett Morgan School of Leadership and Innovation, Engineering & Innovation has higher results in most tested subjects and lower absenteeism, except Geometry. Overall, this is one of the stronger nearby Cleveland Municipal high schools, but absenteeism and low proficiency in Geometry, English II, and American History remain key areas to watch.
