Summary:
The 44121 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across two different school districts - South Euclid-Lyndhurst City and Cleveland Heights-University Heights City. The schools in this area serve predominantly African American student populations, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in this area, Adrian Elementary School and Greenview Upper Elementary School are performing well, with strong proficiency rates on the Ohio State Tests, particularly in 3rd grade math and ELA, and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to their peers. In contrast, Monticello Middle School and Oxford Elementary School are struggling with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, highlighting the stark differences in academic performance within the same school districts.
The data also reveals that while per-student spending is relatively high compared to state averages, the academic outcomes are mixed, indicating that funding alone does not guarantee strong performance. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to these disparities, such as racial and economic inequities, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this community.
