Lake Erie International High School

Summary:

Lake Erie International High School is a small public charter high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 191 students in grades 9-12. Despite its diverse student population, the school has consistently struggled with extremely low academic performance, graduation rates, and student attendance.

Lake Erie International High School ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several consecutive years. The school's four-year graduation rate has been alarmingly low, ranging from just 12.5% to 36.8%, far below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 99.5% in the 2022-2023 school year. These challenges are systemic, affecting all student subgroups, including female, male, African American, White, and low socioeconomic status students.

When comparing Lake Erie International High School to nearby schools in the Cleveland Municipal district, the performance gap is stark. For example, Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation and Garrett Morgan School of Leadership and Innovation have significantly higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores than Lake Erie International High School. Despite being in operation for over a decade, Lake Erie International High School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance metrics, suggesting the need for comprehensive interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve the educational experience and outcomes for its students.

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.

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.
