Summary

Bard Early College Cleveland is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 345 students, located within the Cleveland Municipal school district.

Bard Early College Cleveland consistently outperforms the Cleveland Municipal district and the state of Ohio in standardized test scores across various subjects, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong among specific student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, often ranking in the top 50 or top 100 schools in Ohio for these subgroups. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate reached 100% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Bard Early College Cleveland outperforms the nearby schools within the Cleveland Municipal district, such as Rhodes College and Career Academy, John Marshall School of Information Technology, John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership, and John Marshall School of Engineering, its performance is not as strong when compared to schools outside the district, such as Lakewood High School in the Lakewood City district. This suggests that Bard Early College Cleveland's success may be more relative to the district it is in rather than a broader statewide comparison.
