Summary

Cleveland School Of The Arts High School is a public high school serving 377 students in grades 9-12 within the Cleveland Municipal District. Despite being a relatively small school, it consistently outperforms the district and state in academic test scores, particularly in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology.

The school's performance is especially strong for certain student subgroups, ranking among the top schools in Ohio for African American, Hispanic, and White students. Additionally, the school has shown steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, reaching 90.8% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the district average. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, an area that the school and district will need to address.

When compared to other nearby high schools, such as East Technical High School, Cleveland School Of The Arts High School stands out as a relatively strong performer, outpacing its peers in academic test scores and graduation rates. The school's specialized focus on the arts likely contributes to its success, but there is still room for improvement, particularly in overall school climate and state rankings.
