Summary:
Zip code 44113 has seven schools — six elementary schools serving PK/K–8 grades and one alternative K–12 school — with no standalone middle or high school, so families here rely on K–8 buildings for the middle grades and on the single alternative school for broader grade coverage. Five are part of Cleveland Municipal, while two are independent/charter-style: Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School and Near West Intergenerational School. Enrollment totals 2,783 students, from 495 at Scranton School down to 215 at Near West. Free/reduced-lunch percentages were blank and are unknown, not zero, and spending figures are historical, from 2018–2019.
Academically, Paul L Dunbar Elementary School stands apart: it is the only current 2-star school here, ranks in the 30th percentile, averages about 57.1% across reported tests, and is the only school above the state math average (about 64.8% versus about 57.6%), with 7th grade math 85.7% and 8th grade math 84.2%. Yet it also has the zip's highest chronic absenteeism, 57.8%, above the district's 54.3%. Scranton School is second strongest, at the 25th percentile with a 39.4% test average, beating the district in all reported math and both science grades but weak in grades 7 and 8 ELA. Tremont Montessori School has the best attendance, 43.2%, but a 33.6% test average.
At the other end, Luis Munoz Marin School is the lowest performer — 1st percentile, 0 stars, an 11.0% average and 8.8% in math, with 0% proficient in grades 4 and 7 math in 2024–25. Orchard School is also at the 5th percentile with 0 stars and a 23.4% average, though its 46.1% absenteeism beats the district. The two independent schools lack current test data: Northeast Ohio College Prep has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.5), while Near West has the lowest 2018–19 spending ($7,019) and an older, more favorable rank of 42nd percentile in 2018–19. All five schools with comparable data improved slightly year over year.
