Summary

Cleveland School of Science & Medicine is a grades 9–12 high school on Stokes Boulevard in Cleveland, Ohio, serving about 384 students as part of the Cleveland Municipal district, and it stands out as a strong performer inside a district that ranks near the bottom statewide. Cleveland Municipal sits 689th of 773 Ohio districts (11th percentile, 1 star), while Cleveland School of Science & Medicine ranked 251st of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 — the 68th percentile, with 3 stars. That gap is the single most important fact about the school. Its history is stronger still: 4 stars and the 81st percentile in 2023–2024, the 74th percentile in 2024–2025, and a peak of 5 stars and the 94th percentile in 2017–2018. The recent slide from 81st to 74th to 68th is worth watching.

The results families care about most are solid. The 2025–2026 graduation rate was 96.3% against the district's 79.6%, and chronic absenteeism was 37.9% versus 54.3% districtwide — the lowest among nearby high schools, including Cleveland Early College High, Cleveland School of Architecture & Design, and Glenville High School. Proficiency is excellent in American Government (92.7%), American History (94.7%), and English II (87.6%), all well above state and district averages. The school also shares a campus with Cleveland Early College High and Cleveland School of Architecture & Design, making those comparisons especially direct.

Two weaknesses stand out. Geometry proficiency was 27.0%, far below the state's 43.3% and down from 46.4% three years earlier, and Biology slipped to 66.0%, just under the state's 67.0%. Chronic absenteeism has more than doubled, from 17.0% in 2021–2022 to 37.9% in 2025–2026, though it remains better than at nearby schools. Gifted and Talented students ranked at the 20th percentile, a 1-star result. Note also that poverty data and current spending figures are unavailable, which limits how far comparisons can be pushed.
