Cleveland High

Summary:

Cleveland High is a public high school located in Cleveland, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,842 students. The school is part of the Bradley County district, which is ranked 117 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Cleveland High has a relatively diverse student population, with 53.31% White, 10.48% African American, 27.2% Hispanic, 2.5% Asian, and 5.59% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally on par with or slightly above the state average, but lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as East Hamilton High School and Walker Valley High School, particularly in subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and English. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 130th and 216th out of Tennessee high schools over the past few years, placing it in the middle to lower range.

Cleveland High's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for White students but struggling with African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. The school's racial diversity has also become slightly less diverse over the past few years, with the percentage of White students increasing. These factors suggest that Cleveland High may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and providing more targeted support for underperforming student populations to improve its overall academic 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.
