Cleveland High School

Summary:

Cleveland High School is a public high school located in Cleveland, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 3,310 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Independent School District, which is ranked 938 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cleveland High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (86.92%) compared to the state average, and its performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White, Gifted and Talented, and Multi-racial students. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 93.9% in 2020-2021 to 92.4% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate has fluctuated, ranging from 0.2% in 2020-2021 to 2.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Cleveland High School's STAAR EOC proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas high schools.

When comparing Cleveland High School to nearby schools, such as Frederick A. Douglass Learning Academy, which is also part of the Cleveland ISD, it becomes clear that Cleveland High School is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. The relatively high per-student spending at Cleveland High School ($10,448 in 2020-2021) compared to the school's poor academic outcomes suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate how resources are allocated and utilized to support student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This is the worst school in the area. If you have to move here for work, do not move into this community. I made the mistake of moving here for a job, and the level of incompetence observed is beyond anything I have ever seen. My child is now a year behind his peers and working really hard to catch up. Please do not send your kids to any of these schools. This district is a sinking ship, and will most likely be taken over by the state within a few years. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
