The 44115 zip code area of Cleveland, Ohio is home to 5 schools, including 2 high schools, 2 elementary schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with racial demographics ranging from 63.82% to 98.04% African American students. However, the academic performance of these schools varies significantly, with the high schools consistently underperforming compared to state averages on standardized tests and graduation rates.
Cleveland Academy for Scholarship Technology and Leadership and Invictus High School both struggle with low test scores, with proficiency rates in Algebra I as low as 13.3% and 27.6%, respectively, compared to the state average of 55.9%. These high schools also have very low four-year graduation rates, at 34.3% and 30.1%, respectively. In contrast, the elementary school, Marion-Sterling Elementary School, while still underperforming, has better academic outcomes relative to the high schools.
The data suggests that the schools in the 44115 zip code face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 33.56% to potentially 100%. This, combined with potential funding disparities, as evidenced by the wide range in spending per student (from $7,587 to $16,494), likely contributes to the educational inequities observed in this area. Targeted interventions and support are needed to address the performance gaps and ensure all students in the 44115 zip code have access to a quality education.
