Summary

John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership is a public high school in the Cleveland Municipal district serving grades 9–12 with 485 students on Cleveland's West Side, sharing a campus with John Marshall School of Information Technology and John Marshall School of Engineering. The state rates it 1 star, ranking 714 of 795 schools in 2025–2026 — the 10th percentile — down from 657 of 855 the year before. The district overall ranks 689 of 773 (11th percentile, 1 star).

Graduation is the school's relative bright spot: 88.1% in 2025–2026, above the district's 79.6% and higher than nearby same-district schools The School of One (70.3%), New Technology West (79.7%), John Marshall School of Information Technology (80.0%) and John Marshall School of Engineering (70.1%). It trails Bard Early College Cleveland (97.5%) and out-of-district neighbors such as Fairview High School (91.3%), Lakewood High School (98.2%) and Brooklyn High School (96.8%). American History is the only 2025–2026 End of Course subject where the school beat the district: 57.3% versus 50.8%.

The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism at 83.5%, far above the district's 54.3%, higher than every same-district peer, and up from 71.6% in 2022–2023. Test proficiency is low in most subjects, especially math, with Geometry at 14.5% and Algebra I at 30.4%, and the school trails the state in every subject. Subgroup results are uneven: African American students rank highest at the 36th percentile (2 stars), while English Language Learner and Special Education students, once at the 78th and 39th percentiles, fell to the 15th percentile. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 18.4, and the only available spending figure is $12,786 per student from 2018–2019.
