John Marshall School of Engineering

Summary:

John Marshall School of Engineering is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 399 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Cleveland Municipal school district. The school has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Marshall School of Engineering's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts within the Cleveland Municipal district. For example, Bard Early College Cleveland and John Marshall School of Business and Civic Leadership have higher test scores and graduation rates. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 78.7% in 2019-2020 to a low of 63.3% in 2023-2024, and it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 77.9% in 2021-2022.

Despite the school's higher spending per student ($13,319 in 2018-2019) compared to the state average, this has not translated into better academic outcomes. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state and Cleveland Municipal averages across various subject areas, with particularly low proficiency rates in Geometry and Algebra I. While the school's diverse student population includes strong performance from some subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, the overall academic performance suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.
