Summary

Cleveland School of Architecture & Design is a grade 9–12 high school serving about 215 students at 2075 Stokes Blvd in Cleveland, part of the Cleveland Municipal district. That district ranks 689th of 773 Ohio districts (11th percentile, 1 star), so the school operates within a low-ranked district context. In 2025–2026 the school ranks 551st of 795 Ohio high schools — 31st percentile, 2 stars — which is above the district's percentile but a steep drop from 2024–2025, when it ranked 125th of 855 (85th percentile, 4 stars).

Graduation is the school's clearest strength: 100% in 2025–2026, versus 79.6% for the district, and roughly 20 points above the district in every reported year. Among nearby schools, only Cleveland Early College High also reports 100%. Test results are mixed. American History (82.5%), American Government (76.9%) and Biology (75%) beat the state averages, but Geometry (9.4%), Algebra I (30%) and English II (45.5%) fall well below the state. In 2024–2025 all six reported subjects were above the state, so 2025–2026 looks like a significant regression, especially in English II and math.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest warning sign: 51.8% in 2025–2026, up from 31.7% in 2022–2023, compared with the district's 54.3%. The school's once-large advantage over the district has nearly disappeared. It also trails the two schools it shares a campus with — Cleveland School of Science & Medicine (68th percentile, 37.9% absenteeism, 69% Algebra I, 87.6% English II) and Cleveland Early College High (78th percentile) — and now Cleveland School Of The Arts High School (58th percentile), which it outperformed on all reported tests in 2024–2025. It still outranks most nearby comprehensive and charter schools, including Glenville High School, East Technical High School and Campus International High School.
