Summary

Boulevard Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1749 Lee Rd in Cleveland Heights, OH, serving about 270 students as part of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City district, and for 2025-2026 it ranks 997th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (36th percentile, 2 stars). Its story is steady improvement from a low base: it has climbed from a consistent 1-star, low-20s-percentile position through the 2010s to a stable 2-star, mid-30s position today — roughly a 15-point percentile gain over a decade, with its best rank of that window in the most recent year. Class sizes are modest and steady at about 15 students per teacher.

Test scores generally match the district but trail the state by 8 to 14 points. Upper-grade English Language Arts is the strongest subject — 5th-grade ELA (69.2% proficient) is within about a point of the state average — while 3rd-grade ELA and math are the soft spots. Among same-district neighbors, Boulevard outperforms Noble and Oxford but trails Canterbury, Roxboro, and Fairfax, with the gaps to Canterbury (71st percentile) and Roxboro (64th) especially wide. Compared with nearby schools in other districts — Mayfair (9th percentile), Mary M Bethune (4th percentile), and Caledonia — Boulevard looks notably stronger. Its African American students and low-income students both rank above the school's overall standing (65th and 48th percentile), meaning the overall rank understates results for those groups.

The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: at 32.8%, roughly one in three students is chronically absent — the highest rate among its same-district peers and nearly triple Canterbury's 12.6%, though still better than the district average of 37.9% and far improved from 45.4% in 2021-22. Special education results are the clearest red flag, falling to the 3rd percentile in 2024-2025, and male students have stayed at or below the 28th percentile for three straight years. Boulevard also has the highest per-student spending in its comparison group ($16,358 in 2018-19), suggesting its challenge is less about resources and more about attendance and targeted support for male and special education students.
