The school is part of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, which is ranked 556 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Boulevard Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate was 31.1% compared to the district's 47.5% and the state's 64%. The school has also experienced a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 45.4% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 15.3 over the past three school years, and a higher spending per student of $16,358 in the 2018-2019 school year compared to the nearby schools.

When comparing Boulevard Elementary School to the nearby schools, such as Noble Elementary School, Caledonia Elementary School, and Canterbury Elementary School, it is evident that the school has a much higher percentage of African American students. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students and improve overall academic performance.

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.
