Summary:
ZIP code 44137 covers Maple Heights, Ohio and contains six schools — four elementary, one middle, one high, and no alternative schools — serving 3,203 students across two very differently rated districts. Five of the schools belong to Maple Heights City, which is rated 1 star and ranked 693 of 773 districts in Ohio (10th percentile), while Ohio College Preparatory School is a K–8 school with its own district, rated 4 stars and ranked 89 of 773 (88th percentile).
Ohio College Preparatory School is the clear academic standout and the only 4-star school here, climbing from 1 star to 2 stars to 4 stars in three years. Its 2025–2026 results include 100% proficiency in science at grades 5 and 8 and in math at grades 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8, though 4th grade English Language Arts was just 45.5%, below the state's 61.8%. With only 179 students across K–8, its 100% scores reflect very small grade-level groups, and it also has the ZIP code's highest chronic absenteeism at 54.9%. At the other end, Maple Heights High School, the largest school with 956 students, posts a strong 98.4% graduation rate but low test proficiency (Geometry 17.6%, Algebra I 25.4%, English II 34.6%) and 52.5% chronic absenteeism.
Math is a broad weakness across the Maple Heights City schools: Milkovich Middle School scored 16.8% in 6th grade and 18.3% in 7th grade math, John F. Kennedy Elementary School 24.2% in 3rd grade math, and Barack Obama Elementary School 29.3% in 4th grade math — though its 5th grade English Language Arts rose to 50.7%. Attendance is better at the elementaries: John F. Kennedy has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 34.2%, followed by Abraham Lincoln Elementary School at 37.2% and Barack Obama at 41.1%. Abraham Lincoln serves PK–1 and has no state test data, plus the highest student-teacher ratio at 22.8. Note that free/reduced-lunch figures are blank here, and spending data are from 2018–2019.
