Summary:

ZIP code 44112 has 8 schools serving about 2,011 students, covering grades K–12 through five elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, run by East Cleveland City School District (5 schools, 1,107 students), Cleveland Municipal (2 schools, 409 students), and Apex Academy (1 school, 495 students). Free/reduced-lunch figures are blank for 2024–2025, so poverty context isn't available, and spending data is only from 2018–2019.

The strongest relative performers are Apex Academy, with the ZIP's highest rank percentile at 35 (2 stars) and above-state results in 3rd grade Math (80.5% vs 62.1%) and 8th grade Math (63.6% vs 52.0%), though its 6th grade ELA is very weak at 17.8% vs 56.0%; and Superior School for the Performing Arts, at the 33rd percentile (2 stars), where 7th grade ELA reaches 80.0% vs the state's 62.7% and East Cleveland's 38.1%, with chronic absenteeism of 37.7% — the second-lowest locally. Kenneth W Clement has the best attendance at 28.0%, though its ELA scores remain low. Overall, simply being above state average is rare: only 9 of 72 reported 2025–2026 proficiency results clear that bar.

The biggest concerns are Shaw High School, with the ZIP's highest chronic absenteeism (68.7%), a rank percentile of 7 (0 stars), and 0% Geometry proficiency vs the state's 43.3% — yet an 87.0% graduation rate — and W.H. Kirk Middle School, the lowest-performing tested school with a rank percentile of 5 (0 stars) and average proficiency of 12.6% vs 56.4% on the same tests. Mayfair Elementary School (9th percentile) and Euclid Park Elementary School (14th percentile) are also low, while Caledonia Elementary School serves K–2 and has no current test scores for comparison.
