Summary

John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 477 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools, with proficiency rates on state tests significantly below state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 75-87% in recent years, lower than the state average. However, the school's African American and Hispanic student subgroups perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio high schools for these populations.

Compared to nearby schools, Bard Early College Cleveland and John Marshall School of Information Technology have stronger academic outcomes, but still struggle compared to higher-performing districts like Fairview Park and Lakewood. Addressing the school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51-82% in recent years, should be a priority to help improve overall performance.
