Summary:
The 44121 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across two school districts - South Euclid-Lyndhurst City and Cleveland Heights-University Heights City. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, there are notable differences in their academic performance.
Adrian Elementary School stands out as a top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts for 3rd-grade students compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, Greenview Upper Elementary School has relatively strong test scores, particularly in 4th and 5th-grade Math and ELA, and even achieved 100% proficiency in 8th-grade Math, significantly outperforming the district and state. In contrast, other schools like Oxford Elementary School struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals that spending per student varies across the schools, from $11,491 at Monticello Middle School to $16,296 at Noble Elementary School, but this does not necessarily translate to stronger academic performance. Additionally, the middle schools in the data set generally have lower proficiency rates compared to the elementary schools, suggesting a need to focus on supporting the transition from elementary to middle school.
