Cleveland Public School District

The Cleveland Public School District in Minnesota consists of two schools - Cleveland Elementary and Cleveland Secondary. While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals a stark contrast in their performance and student demographics.

Cleveland Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools with a 4-star rating. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Math and Reading. Additionally, Cleveland Elementary has a lower free/reduced lunch rate and a more favorable student-teacher ratio, suggesting a more affluent and well-resourced student population.

In contrast, Cleveland Secondary faces some challenges, with test scores that lag behind the district and state, especially in Science and 10th grade Reading. The school also has a higher free/reduced lunch rate and a less favorable student-teacher ratio, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population. However, Cleveland Secondary maintains a respectable 95.5% 4-year graduation rate, demonstrating its ability to support student success despite these challenges.
