Summary

The School of One is a small Cleveland Municipal public school on Cleveland's west side, serving about 264 students in grades 7–12, and it currently ranks near the bottom of Ohio schools on state measures.

In 2025–26, The School of One ranked 762nd of 795 Ohio schools — the 4th percentile, with 0 stars. That is below its own district, Cleveland Municipal, which sits at the 11th percentile. Among same-district schools, Bard Early College Cleveland ranks at the 64th percentile, New Technology West at 15th, John Marshall School of Engineering at 12th, Max S Hayes High School at 11th, John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership at 10th, and John Marshall School of Information Technology at 6th. Nearby out-of-district schools also rank higher, including Lakewood High School (60th percentile), Franklin School of Opportunity - On Site (57th) and Brooklyn High School (51st). Test proficiency is below both district and state in every subject reported, with the sharpest weakness in math and science: Geometry 4.4%, Biology 8.1%, and Algebra I 16.7%. English II, at 33.3%, is closer to the district rate.

The 2025–26 graduation rate was 70.3%, compared with 79.6% for Cleveland Municipal — a gap of about 9 percentage points — and below most same-district peers; Bard Early College Cleveland graduated 97.5%. Chronic absenteeism was 53.6%, slightly better than the district's 54.3% and better than several same-district schools, so absenteeism alone does not explain the graduation gap. One of the clearest differences is class size: The School of One had 29.3 students per teacher in 2024–25, far above every nearby school, which ranged from 14.0 to 21.8. Per-student spending was $13,411 in 2018–19, mid-to-high locally, so funding does not appear to be the main issue. Results for student groups have varied widely year to year, with special education students dropping from the 74th percentile in 2024–25 to the 27th in 2025–26.
