Best Public Schools in Zip Code 44119

ZIP code 44119 has three elementary schools serving grades K–8: Arbor Elementary School (K–5, Euclid City), Oliver Hazard Perry Elementary School (PK–8, Cleveland Municipal), and Bella Academy of Excellence (K–7, its own district), with 824 students combined. All three rank in the bottom quartile of Ohio schools for 2025–2026, and no high school is in the area; two of the three serve middle grades despite the area summary listing no middle schools.

Arbor Elementary School is the relative standout: highest rank (19th percentile), only 1 star, largest enrollment (388), lowest student-teacher ratio (18.4), and best common-grade average (39.6%). Its Math 3 (48.2%) and Math 4 (59.7%) lead the ZIP, though all scores are below state averages. Oliver Hazard Perry Elementary School has the lowest rank (6th percentile), 0 stars, and 53.2% chronic absenteeism; its middle-school scores are extremely low (6th math 0%, 8th math 3.8%), but it has the best 5th-grade science (29.2%) and 5th-grade ELA (41.7%). Bella Academy of Excellence is smallest (155), has the highest student-teacher ratio (22.1) and lowest spending ($7,364, 2018–2019), and is highly volatile: Math 3 fell from 92.9% (the only above-state score in the data set) in 2024–2025 to 39.1% in 2025–2026, a 53.8-point drop, while rank percentile slid from 24th to 9th and stars from 1 to 0.

Across the ZIP, no 2025–2026 test score meets Ohio’s state average, and 5th-grade science is a weak spot: the three schools range from 7.1% to 29.2% proficient, compared with a state average of 62.7%. Chronic absenteeism varies widely—53.2% at Oliver Hazard Perry, 29.9% at Arbor, and 28.9% at Bella—but attendance alone does not explain outcomes, since Bella has low absenteeism yet still very low scores. Per-student spending (2018–2019) is $13,197 at Oliver Hazard Perry, $10,665 at Arbor, and $7,364 at Bella. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank, spending data is dated, and small cohorts can skew results, especially at Bella, so treat this as a snapshot. Overall, Arbor is relatively stronger, Oliver Hazard Perry faces the greatest needs, and Bella is small and volatile.
