Summary:
Zip code 44104 in Cleveland has just one high school: East Technical High School, a comprehensive school serving grades 9–12 with 487 students in the Cleveland Municipal district. Since it is the only school in the area, there are no nearby peers to compare it with, so the most useful benchmarks are its own district and the state of Ohio.
On nearly every measure, East Technical trails both. In 2025–26 the school's strongest subject was American Government, where 47.6% of tested students were proficient — a 9.5-point gain and the only subject near the halfway mark. American History followed at 29.4%, while English II (21.2%), Biology (17.2%), Algebra I (13.6%) and Geometry (11.2%) all sat below 25%. By comparison, the district averaged roughly 40% proficiency and the state about 63%. The graduation rate is 63.6% versus 79.6% for the district, and 66.7% of students are chronically absent against 54.3% district-wide. The school ranks at the 4th percentile statewide with 0 stars, while Cleveland Municipal sits at the 11th percentile with 1 star.
Parents should know that three subjects improved year over year and three declined, but the losses were far larger: Biology dropped 18.6 points and American History 11.4, against gains of 9.5 in Government, 4.9 in Algebra I and 1.0 in Geometry. Geometry is the most stubborn weakness, holding near 1 in 9 students proficient two years running. Some context is missing — the free/reduced-price lunch figure is not reported, per-student spending ($12,722) dates back to 2018–19, and the graduation, attendance and student-teacher ratio figures each cover only one year — so any trend should be treated as provisional.
