Summary

Maple Leaf Elementary School is a grade 4–5 school in Garfield Heights, Ohio, serving 326 students as part of Garfield Heights City Schools, a district ranked 720th of 773 Ohio districts (7th percentile, 0 stars). The school itself ranked 1328th of 1560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026 (15th percentile, 1 star)—still in the bottom fifth of the state, but a step above its district's overall standing. Its student-teacher ratio has improved from 18.7 in 2022–2023 to 15.5 in 2024–2025.

Test scores tell a story of low standing with real momentum. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates ran about 27–33 points below Ohio averages and matched the district figure exactly in every reported grade and subject. But the trend since 2022–2023 is upward: grade 5 math climbed from 5.9% to 32.3%, grade 5 science from 23.8% to 34.8%, grade 5 ELA from 24.7% to 37.3%, and grade 4 math from 21.6% to 40.3%, peaking at 44.0% in 2024–2025. The average gap to the state narrowed from roughly 39 points to about 28 points.

The biggest warning sign is attendance. Chronic absenteeism improved from 54.1% in 2021–2022 to 42.2% in 2024–2025, then jumped to 53.3% in 2025–2026—better than the district's 61.9% but higher than several nearby options, including Barack Obama Elementary School (41.1%), SMART Academy (49.9%), and Elmwood Elementary School (49.5%). Compared with Barack Obama Elementary School, its closest grade-level peer, Maple Leaf posts nearly the same overall rank and mixed results (stronger grade 4 math and ELA, weaker grade 5 science and ELA). Maple Leaf also generally out-scores Miles School and The Brilliance School, while Warner Girls Leadership Academy is stronger in grade 4 ELA but far weaker in grade 5. Subgroup results are uneven: one major student group ranked in the 66th percentile statewide in 2024–2025 before falling to the 39th in 2025–2026, while special education students ranked in the 3rd percentile.

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
