SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 795 Ohio High Schools

Better than 15% of Ohio high schools

Summary

MC^2 STEM High School is a grades 9–12 school in the Cleveland Municipal district at 601 Erieside Ave in Cleveland, enrolling 215 students, which makes it one of the smaller high schools in its peer group. The district ranks near the bottom of Ohio (689th of 773, 11th percentile, 1 star), and the school's own statewide rank in 2025–2026 is 675th of 795, or 15th percentile, with 1 star. In 2025–2026, MC^2's proficiency was above the district average in four of the five tested subjects shown, but in every case still far below the Ohio average.

Compared with nearby schools, MC^2's results are mixed. Geometry is its relative bright spot: 26.1% proficient leads same-district peers such as Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School, Cleveland High School for the Digital Arts, and Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation, though it is still below Ohio's 43.3%. Algebra I is the opposite — 32.4%, below the district and ahead of only East Technical High School among same-district peers, a notable result for a STEM-themed school. Its graduation rate is 75.0% versus the district's 79.6%, ranking 6th of 7 among same-district peers, and chronic absenteeism is 72.6% versus the district's 54.3%. On staffing, its 14.3 student-teacher ratio is lower (better) than most nearby schools.

The biggest warning sign is the reversal since 2021–2022, when graduation was 93.9% and chronic absenteeism 47.3% — both better than the district. Test scores have risen substantially since 2023–2024, but not enough to move the school's overall rank. Its own subgroup effectiveness rankings for African American students reached the 41st–43rd percentile, and its special education ranking hit the 81st percentile in 2024–2025 before falling to the 44th. Attendance and graduation trends are worth asking about when you visit.
