Summary

Roxboro Elementary School is a K–5 school in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, serving 251 students in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District. While that district as a whole ranks 516th of 773 Ohio districts (33rd percentile, 2 stars), Roxboro itself ranks 561st of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 64th percentile, or 3 stars. The school has been recovering: it slipped to the 44th percentile in 2022–2023, then climbed to the 59th, 56th, and 64th percentiles. That is still below its 2017–2018 peak of 71st percentile and 4 stars, but it sits comfortably above the district average.

Test results are Roxboro's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all seven reported grade-and-subject results on the Ohio State Test were above both district and state averages, including Science 5 (71.4%), Math 3 (81.1%), and ELA 3 (78.4%). The narrowest margins were Math 5 and ELA 4, which still edged past the state. Attendance is a bright spot too: chronic absenteeism was 18.6% in 2025–2026, roughly half the district's 37.9% and well below same-district Boulevard Elementary School (32.8%) and Fairfax Elementary School (24.2%) — though higher than Canterbury Elementary School (12.6%) and Onaway Elementary School (10.3%).

Among nearby schools, Canterbury is the strongest direct peer, ranking 458th (71st percentile, 4 stars) and outscoring Roxboro in six of seven 2025–2026 assessments. Onaway, in Shaker Heights City, ranks 467th (70th percentile) with much stronger ELA results, while Roxboro was higher in science and all three math grades. Roxboro's classes are the smallest in the comparison set, with a 14.7 student-teacher ratio, and students from low-income backgrounds rank in the 87th percentile statewide (4 stars). Fifth-grade results swing noticeably by year, so single-year comparisons deserve caution. Nearby Cleveland Municipal schools such as Bolton, Mary M Bethune, and Sunbeam rank far lower, with chronic absenteeism between 50% and 69%.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, February 18, 2012

Roxboro Elementary is rated "Excellent" by the State of Ohio, so I'm not sure why School Digger has such a low rating for it. We sent our kids there and we loved it. Parental involvement is high and the parents raise lots of extra money for the arts for the school. With this money they bring in all types of artists for residencies throughout the year and there is an annual Jazz Week. Students can start taking an instrument in 4th grade in small group classes. There is an orchestra for 5th and 6th graders. The academics are solid with special programs for gifted students. Our daughter had a learning disability and they assessed her and got her in with the learning disabilities teacher for math and reading. In one year she was up to grade level and is now finishing college. Because Cleveland Heights is a diverse community, there are a lot of kids on free & reduced lunch, but that does not affect the overall quality of the school. Those kids are lucky to be there and do well. I can't say enough good things about this school. Don't let School Digger scare you off! Close Quote
