Summary

Maple Leaf Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Garfield Heights, Ohio, with 384 students. The school is part of the Garfield Heights City Schools district, which is ranked 697 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Leaf Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across several key metrics, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 42.2% to 58.6% over the past few years, well below state average test scores in all subjects and grade levels, and significant achievement gaps for its subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, only 36.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%.

The data suggests that the challenges at Maple Leaf Elementary are systemic within the Garfield Heights City Schools district, as the other elementary schools in the district, William Foster Elementary and Elmwood Elementary, have very similar performance metrics. However, nearby charter schools like SMART Academy and The Brilliance School have somewhat stronger academic performance, particularly in math and English Language Arts, which may indicate that families are seeking out these alternatives to the traditional public schools in the area.

Some of the staff are rude. There are others who are very sweet but I just don’t appreciate the way some staff conduct themselves concerning the kids or parents. It’s very unprofessional Close Quote
