Summary:

ZIP code 44105 contains 15 schools serving roughly 4,224 students, and it is overwhelmingly an elementary area: 13 elementary schools (many of them PK–8 or K–8), one high school, one alternative school, and no stand-alone middle school. The schools split into two groups: eight Cleveland Municipal schools with 2,518 students (about 59.6% of the ZIP's enrollment) and seven standalone or separate-district schools with 1,706 students (about 40.4%) — Village Preparatory School Woodland Hills (the largest, 620 students), Northstar School of Innovation & Leadership, Harvard Avenue Performance Academy, Washington Park Community School, Constellation Schools: Eastside Arts Academy, Cleveland College Preparatory School, and SMART Academy.

For parents comparing options, the clearest contrast is between the Cleveland Municipal cluster, whose schools mostly rank between the 1st and 16th percentiles, and the separate-district schools. Northstar is the strongest current performer, ranking 836 of 1,560 (46th percentile, 2 stars) and improving sharply from the prior year, with 92.9% in 5th-grade Science and 90.5% in 4th-grade Math. Harvard Avenue posts the highest 2025–2026 scores in the ZIP (97.5% in 3rd-grade ELA, 95.5% in Algebra I) but swung widely from much lower 2024–2025 upper-grade results. Albert Bushnell Hart stands out with 88.9% in 8th-grade Science in both years. At the other end, Charles Dickens School, Mound Elementary School, and Miles School rank at the 1st–2nd percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is a ZIP-wide concern: among the 14 schools reporting, the average is 60.9% and the range runs from 46.5% to 86.0%. John Adams College & Career Academy, the only high school, combines 86.0% chronic absenteeism, a 62.9% graduation rate (versus the district's 79.6%), and End-of-Course scores below both district and state, including 4.2% in Geometry. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is blank for 14 of 15 schools (only SMART Academy reports 96.74%), spending figures date to 2018–2019, and several year-to-year swings are large enough that a single year of scores should be read cautiously.
