Summary

Cuyahoga Hts High School is a small 9–12 school of about 250 students in Cuyahoga Heights Local, with a Garfield Heights mailing address. Its size matters: with only 250 students, year-to-year percentages can swing more than at a larger school. Statewide, it is an elite performer — 57th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026, the 93rd percentile, with 5 stars. The district ranked 58th of 773, also 5 stars. It has slipped from its 2021–2022 peak (5th of 836) but remains in the top 7–10% of Ohio high schools and has earned 5 stars every year shown.

Its only true academic peer nearby is Independence High School, also 5 stars and 92nd percentile. Yet Cuyahoga Hts serves a much more economically disadvantaged population — 50.8% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 versus 12.13% at Independence — while still outperforming it in American Government, American History, Biology, and Algebra I. Independence is stronger in English II and slightly higher in Geometry. Other nearby schools sit far lower: Garfield Heights High School ranks 698th of 795 and John F. Kennedy High School 785th of 795, with Garfield Heights at 61.4% in Government proficiency and John F. Kennedy at 6.8% in English II. Graduation here is 98.5%, with chronic absenteeism of 8.5% versus 74.4% at Garfield Heights and 89.5% at John F. Kennedy.

Other strengths: effectiveness for low-income students is exceptional — 4th of 761 in Ohio in 2025–2026 and 99th percentile three years running. Classes are small (10.0 students per teacher), and per-student spending was $15,987 in 2018–2019, older data best treated as historical context. Watch items are relative rather than absolute: English II (74.1%) and Geometry (67.3%) trail Independence and have declined from earlier highs, and chronic absenteeism has drifted from 4.6% in 2023–2024 to 8.5%, now slightly above the district average of 6.0%.
