Summary:

ZIP code 44128, on Cleveland's southeast side, contains 13 schools serving roughly 4,782 students across elementary, middle, high school, and alternative settings, run by Cleveland Municipal, Warrensville Heights City, Buckeye United School District, and several charter operators, so comparisons between them are not fully apples-to-apples.

Academic results vary widely. STEAM Academy of Warrensville Heights is the strongest performer, with 2025-2026 proficiency of 86.7% in 4th grade math and ELA and 83.0% in 3rd grade ELA, all well above state averages, and its school rank percentile rose from 30 to 54. T2 Honors Academy posts a 95.2% graduation rate and above-state results in Biology (80.6%), American Government (75.0%), and Algebra I (71.9%), though English II is 42.3%. Warrensville Heights High School has the highest graduation rate at 97.0%, but no 2025-2026 End-of-Course subject above the state average. Warrensville Heights Middle School shows 94.1% Algebra I proficiency, an outlier that likely reflects a small advanced group rather than overall performance.

Chronic absenteeism is the area's biggest shared concern: among the 11 schools reporting it, the average is 53.1%, with Randall Park High School at 100% and John F Kennedy High School at 89.5%. Robert H Jamison School and JFK both rank in the 1st percentile with 0 stars, and Green Inspiration Academy fell from the 28th to the 8th percentile. The lowest absenteeism sits in Warrensville Heights elementary settings, at 24.4% to 32.5%. Test data is missing for some schools, including Citizens Academy Southeast, and spending figures date to 2018-2019.
