Summary

Shaker Hts High School is a large public high school at 15911 Aldersyde Dr in Shaker Heights, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with 1,418 students as part of the Shaker Heights City district.

Academically, Shaker is above the Ohio average in five of six end-of-course tests: American Government (73.3%), American History (77.3%), Biology (71.6%), English II (67.6%), and Geometry (46.6%). Algebra I is the clear weak spot at 50.0% proficient, below both the state (61.6%) and the district (65.8%). The school ranked 43rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025-26, down from the low-to-mid 50s percentile in recent years, while the district overall sits at 54th percentile with 3 stars. Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, Shaker generally outperforms Cleveland Heights High School, Warrensville Heights High School, John F Kennedy High School, and John Adams College & Career Academy, but trails smaller Cleveland specialty schools such as Cleveland Early College High and Cleveland School of Science & Medicine in several subjects.

Graduation and attendance are relative strengths: a 98.0% graduation rate and 29.4% chronic absenteeism, better than most nearby schools, though absenteeism is still above the district's 20.3%. The most important internal story is an equity gap — the school's overall results look solid, but students from low-income families rank at the 18th percentile with 1 star, a pattern that has held for three straight years. Free/reduced lunch eligibility rose from 23.9% in 2022-23 to 40.69% in 2024-25, pointing to growing economic need. Class sizes are favorable at 13.9 students per teacher, and per-pupil spending was $16,310 in 2018-19.

It is a very good school Close Quote

The environment is toxic and horrible and sure, kids are prepared for colleges, but they're all heavily medicated and only /some/ kids have the opportunity to be prepared for college. Your parents have to proactive and you have to get lucky in terms of teachers in elementary, or else you won't succeed. It doesn't matter how smart you are or how hardworking you are-- all that matters is if you're one of the 10 or so kids who gets targeted by the infallible bullies with million-dollar homes or if your parents are there to push administration to do what they need to make you succeed.
And God help you if you aren't the most left-leaning person on the face of Earth. Close Quote

Now that my two children have graduated and gone off to college the value is clear. They were prepared, well educated and well rounded. One graduated with her bachelors in 3 years thanks to her writing skills and AP credits earned at Shaker, all while taking up the sport or rugby and a work/study job plus a semester of study abroad. The second benefited from and academic and band scholarship (even as a biology major) and plays a varsity sport.
Test scores I like as a measurement, but make sure your child is getting an education that has them able to think critically, reason, express themselves and exercise judgement. A school like Shaker helps a kid by offering and encouraging so much that they find a pace to grow and mature. And for heavens sake, pick a school with social, racial and economic diversity and watch the valuable education interaction and experience provide.

We chose Shaker for a couple of good reasons, turns out there were many other good reasons we didn't even know about until after graduation.
