Summary

Rhodes School of Environmental Studies is a 9–12 high school serving 330 students at 5100 Biddulph Ave in Cleveland, Ohio, part of the Cleveland Municipal district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 689th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 13th percentile, with 1 star — while the district ranked 689th of 773 districts, at the 11th percentile with 1 star. The school's ranking has drifted mostly between the 13th and 20th percentiles in recent years, with a low of 6th percentile in 2020–2021.

Academically, results are mixed. Rhodes' strongest 2025–2026 End-of-Course result was Algebra I at 53.0% proficient, followed by American Government at 60.5% and Biology at 41.2%. Its weakest were Geometry at 16.3%, English II at 30.3%, and American History at 35.0%. The school trails the state in every reported subject, with the smallest gap in Algebra I (53.0% vs. 61.6% statewide) and the largest in American History (35.0% vs. 73.2%). Graduation has improved substantially, from 58.0% in 2022–2023 to 80.0% in 2025–2026, slightly above the district's 79.6%. Chronic absenteeism remains very high, though — 76.5%, versus 54.3% for the district.

Compared with nearby Cleveland Municipal high schools, Rhodes is low-ranked but not the lowest. Its Algebra I proficiency of 53.0% beats every nearby same-district high school, and Biology (41.2%) ranks second only to New Technology West. Its 80.0% graduation rate trails Rhodes College and Career Academy (99.1%) and Facing History High School@Charles Mooney (82.4%) but leads most other peers, while its 76.5% chronic absenteeism ties Facing History for the highest among them. Brooklyn High School, about 1.5 miles away, ranks far higher (391/795, 3 stars), with a 96.8% graduation rate and 34.8% chronic absenteeism. Alternative schools such as Old Brook High School have far lower graduation and near-universal absenteeism. Subgroup results vary: English Language Learner students were at the 36th percentile in 2025–2026, and Special Education Students rose from the 2nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 41st in 2025–2026.
