Summary

Cleveland School Of The Arts High School is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving roughly 380 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Cleveland Municipal district. The district ranks in the 11th percentile statewide (1 star), yet the school ranked 333rd of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 — the 58th percentile, with 3 stars — up from the 26th percentile in 2020–2021. That gap between school and district is one of the most striking findings here.

Graduation is a clear strength: 97.4% in 2025–2026, far above the district's 79.6% and close to the top nearby schools, including Cleveland Early College High and Cleveland School of Science & Medicine. On 2025–2026 state tests, the school beat the district in all six subjects and the state in five. Social studies and biology stand out: American Government 90.0%, American History 84.6%, and Biology 82.0% proficient — the highest Biology score among nearby schools. Geometry is the weak spot at 33.0% proficient, below the state's 43.3% and behind Cleveland Early College High and Shaker Hts High School, though well above the district's 17.4% and improved from 17.3% in 2023–2024.

The school also stands out for how well it serves students who often trail statewide. In 2025–2026, special education students ranked in the 91st percentile, African American students in the 85th, and low-SES students in the 79th. Gifted and talented students are the exception, at the 14th percentile with 1 star. One ongoing challenge: chronic absenteeism was 50.8% in 2025–2026, better than the district's 54.3% but higher than Shaker Hts High School (29.4%), Cleveland School of Science & Medicine (37.9%) and Cleveland Early College High (40.1%).
