Cleveland School of Science & Medicine

Summary:

Cleveland School of Science & Medicine is a public high school serving 390 students in grades 9-12 in Cleveland, Ohio, which is part of the Cleveland Municipal School District. This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, high graduation rates, and diverse student population.

Cleveland School of Science & Medicine consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages in core subjects like American Government, American History, and English II. The school also maintains an impressive four-year graduation rate, ranging from 96.8% to 99.1% over the past five years, far exceeding the district and state averages. Notably, the school's performance is particularly strong among specific student subgroups, ranking 20th out of 318 Ohio high schools for African American students and 31st out of 756 for White students.

While the school's academic excellence is commendable, it faces a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.6% in 2020-2021 to 22.6% in 2023-2024. This is an issue the school and district should address to ensure continued success for all students. In comparison, a nearby public charter school, Horizon Science Academy Cleveland, has a similar student racial makeup but significantly lower academic performance and spending per student, highlighting the potential impact of school leadership, resources, and instructional practices on student outcomes.

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.
