Summary:
The Cleveland School District has only one high school, Cleveland Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subject areas like Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History.
Cleveland Central High School has a student population of 817, with a racial makeup of predominantly African American students (78.82%) and a high rate of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch rate. The school's academic performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 171 out of 228 high schools in 2021-2022 to 189 out of 228 in 2023-2024. This concerning trend suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the unique needs of the student population.
With only one high school in the data set, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons to other schools within the Cleveland School District or the broader region. Expanding the data set to include more schools would provide valuable context and allow for a more comprehensive analysis of the educational landscape in this area. Addressing the challenges faced by Cleveland Central High School will require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to quality education.
