Summary:

ZIP code 44102 is home to 16 schools — eight elementary, one middle, three high, and four alternative — serving a combined 5,999 students on Cleveland's near-west side. Enrollment is concentrated in elementary (2,687 students) and alternative (1,819) settings, with 1,458 high schoolers and just 35 middle schoolers. Most schools — 11 of 16, about 5,033 students — belong to Cleveland Municipal (CMSD), which ranks 689 of 773 districts (11th percentile, 1 star). The remaining five are charters: Menlo Park Academy, Northwest School of the Arts, and three Constellation Schools campuses.

Menlo Park Academy is the clear academic standout: 4 stars, ranked 297 of 1,560 schools (81st percentile) and 111 of 773 districts (86th percentile), with ELA 5th grade at 95.2%, Biology EOC at 100%, and chronic absenteeism of 17.1% — by far the lowest in the ZIP. Among CMSD schools, Clark School is strongest, ranked 914 of 1,560 (41st percentile) and improved from 1,124 of 1,577, with Math 3rd grade at 86.3% and absenteeism at 26.8%. Louisa May Alcott Elementary School, the smallest at 159 students, posts moderate results with several ELA scores above district averages. For high schools, Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation leads with an 88.5% graduation rate, though its Geometry EOC is 9.0% and 74.2% of students are chronically absent.

At the low end, Constellation Schools: Madison Community Elementary and Stockyard Community Elementary rank 1,497 and 1,504 of 1,560 (4th percentile, 0 stars), and Stockyard Community Middle — only 35 students — has 0% in 7th-grade math. Chronic absenteeism divides the ZIP: the average of about 54.4% matches CMSD's 54.3%, but Garrett Morgan School of Leadership and Innovation reaches 80.9%. Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy serves newcomers and English learners, so its many 0% proficiency rates need population context. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank, spending figures are from 2018-19, and Northwest School of the Arts has no recent test or rank data.
