Summary

Cleveland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 439 students in grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which is part of the Oklahoma City School District. Despite facing challenges such as high poverty and chronic absenteeism, Cleveland Elementary has maintained relatively strong academic performance, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 29% of Cleveland Elementary students were proficient in ELA, compared to 15% in the Oklahoma City district and 26% statewide. In Math, 24% of Cleveland students were proficient, compared to 12% in the district and 26% statewide. This suggests the school may be employing effective instructional strategies and interventions to support student learning. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 57th out of 407 schools in 2016-2017 to 348th out of 614 schools in 2024-2025, indicating it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state.

Compared to nearby schools, Cleveland Elementary serves a more disadvantaged student population, with 65.44% to 69.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. Schools like Wilson Elementary and Eugene Field Elementary have significantly higher test scores and lower rates of poverty. However, Cleveland still outperforms some other high-poverty schools in the area, such as Buchanan Elementary and Hawthorne Elementary. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 17.6% to 38.8% in recent years, could be a key focus for improvement.

Open Quote 3 out of 5 stars?? I'm thinking many voters don't even live in the district. This is a great school! All 3 of my children are in or have went through Cleveland. Parental involvement, great teachers, highly recommended. Close Quote
