Better than 13% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Rhodes College and Career Academy is a grades 9–12 public high school in the Cleveland Municipal district, located at 5100 Biddulph Ave in Cleveland, OH, and serving 588 students. It ranks 688th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (13th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 689th of 773. The clearest bright spot is its 99.1% graduation rate, far above the district’s 79.6%. Yet chronic absenteeism is 73.2%, well above the district’s 54.3%, and proficiency is low: Geometry 9.8%, Biology 23.9%, English II 43.8%, Algebra I 48.5%, American History 45.5%, and American Government 62.4%.

Compared with nearby Cleveland Municipal high schools, this school has the highest graduation rate in the group: Rhodes School of Environmental Studies 80.0%, New Technology West 79.7%, Lincoln West School Of Global Studies 78.1%, Max S Hayes High School 77.0%, Lincoln West School of Science & Health 66.0%, and Facing History High School@Charles Mooney 82.4%. However, absenteeism remains higher than most peers, and nearby Brooklyn High School, about 1.5 miles away, has 34.8% chronic absenteeism and much higher proficiency (Geometry 41.6%, Biology 70.3%, English II 66.3%). It is above the district in Government, English II, and Algebra I, but below in History, Biology, and Geometry, and below the state in every subject. On the same campus, Rhodes School of Environmental Studies has higher Biology and Geometry proficiency but lower English II and American History. It also had a 23.5 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, higher than most nearby same-district peers.

Subgroup results show a few real strengths and several warning signs: special education students rank in the 53rd percentile (3 stars), and English language learners in the 33rd percentile (2 stars). Gifted and talented students rank in the 7th percentile (0 stars), and low-income students in the 13th percentile (1 star). Overall, the school is getting far more students to graduation than its test scores suggest they are ready for college or careers. The most pressing areas for improvement are daily attendance, Geometry and Biology proficiency, and broader academic growth.
