Summary

Mayfair Elementary School is a small school serving 130 students in grades 3–5 on Mayfair Avenue in East Cleveland, part of the East Cleveland City School District (ranked 697th of 773 Ohio districts, 0 stars). The school ranked 1415th of 1560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 — the 9th percentile, with 0 stars — and has sat in the bottom decile for years.

Academically, Mayfair's proficiency rates fall below Ohio's statewide rates in every tested subject and grade. Its stronger spots are 3rd and 4th grade English language arts: 46.0% and 40.6% proficiency, which are higher than East Clark, East Academy, Kenneth W Clement, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Mary M Bethune. Those grades have improved a lot since 2022–2023, when Math 4 was 2.1% and ELA 4 was 12.5%. The urgent weakness is 5th grade. Math 5 sits at 6.3% — below nearly every nearby school with reported data — and ELA 5 (25.0%) and Science 5 (15.6%) are also very low. Boulevard Elementary School and Apex Academy show what is possible nearby: both rank at the 35th–36th percentile with 2 stars and far outperform Mayfair in 5th grade. Apex spends less per student, so funding alone does not explain the gap.

One relative strength is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 46.5% in 2025–2026 — still high, but better than the East Cleveland City School District's 54.2% and better than East Clark (70.5%), East Academy (67.8%), Lake Erie Preparatory School (63.4%), Franklin D. Roosevelt (61.7%), Stephanie Tubbs Jones (60.5%), and Mary M Bethune (57.8%), and roughly even with Caledonia Elementary School (46.9%). It has improved substantially from 63.4% in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio was 14.4 in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby schools, and per-student spending was $15,134 in 2018–2019 — more than East Clark, Kenneth W Clement, Apex Academy, Lake Erie Preparatory School, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Mary M Bethune. Parents should note that results for low socio-economic status students have edged up from the 3rd to the 10th percentile.
