Summary

Cuyahoga Hts Middle School is a public school serving about 172 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Cuyahoga Heights Local district, and while its listed address sits in the Garfield Heights postal area, it draws its students from the Cuyahoga Heights district. It is a top-decile school: 88th of 1,046 middle schools statewide in 2025–26 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), while its district ranks 58th of 773 districts. The school has held a 5-star rating in nine of the last ten reported school years, with its single 4-star year (2020–21) coinciding with the pandemic.

Its closest true peer is Independence Middle School, 3.67 miles away — another small, high-spending, low-absence school that edges slightly ahead on most 8th-grade and ELA results, while Cuyahoga Hts is ahead on 7th-grade math and attendance. The contrast with Garfield Heights Middle School, 2.6 miles away in the same postal community, is stark: that school ranks 951st of 1,046 (9th percentile), with 8th-grade science proficiency of 22.2% versus 83.3% here, and chronic absenteeism of 63.8% versus 6.1%. Most other schools within about six miles post chronic absenteeism between 19.1% and 73.7%.

Two features stand out most. First, attendance: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 18.3% to 6.1% over four years, now slightly better than the district's own rate. Second, subgroup results: students from low-income families rank in the 95th–99th percentile statewide, and there is no evidence of a subgroup being left behind. Algebra I proficiency has been 100% for four consecutive years, though that tested group is likely a select set of advanced 8th graders. Per-student spending was $15,240 (2018–19, the highest in this comparison group) and the student–teacher ratio is 14.6. Statewide rank has softened slightly from a 2018–19 peak of the 98th percentile, with 8th-grade science showing the clearest decline; free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported.
