Summary:
ZIP code 44111, on Cleveland's west side, is home to just one middle school: Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Middle, a grades 5–8 charter school at 16210 Lorain Ave with 170 students. It is also listed as Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Middle, meaning it operates as its own district. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, parents have no local comparison school; the meaningful benchmarks are Ohio state averages and the school's own past performance.
The school's trajectory is clearly upward. Its state rank rose from 666 of 1,046 schools (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023-24 to 494 of 1,046 (53rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-26 — a gain of 172 positions that moved it above the median. Test results improved on 8 of 10 reported grade-and-subject exams from 2024-25 to 2025-26. English Language Arts is the standout: all four tested grades scored above the state average, including 5th grade at 75.6% versus 70.4% statewide and 7th grade at 71.4% versus 62.7%. 8th grade math was the single largest bright spot, at 67.9% proficient against a state average of 52.0%. In 2025-26, 6 of 10 tests were above the state average, up from only 2 of 10 the year before.
Two math grades and one science grade remain concerns. 6th grade math was 35.7% proficient versus 56.2% statewide, and 7th grade math fell from 53.3% to 39.3%, dropping below the state average. 5th grade science sat at 46.3% against 62.7% statewide. Chronic absenteeism of 42.1% is a significant risk factor, since missed instruction can slow further gains. Some data are thin: free/reduced lunch is not reported, the student-teacher ratio of 21.2 covers only 2024-25 with no comparison, and per-student spending of $6,812 dates to 2018-19.
