District-Level NCES Analysis

Cleveland Municipal operates 94 public schools serving 33,998 students, placing it among the larger districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 79 other, 12 high, 3 elementary schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 33,105 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Cuyahoga County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,085 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 38.0% local, 38.2% state, and 23.7% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $115,533 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 54/100, ranked #263 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 18 of 94 schools offering Advanced Placement (54 AP courses district-wide), a 305.6:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 72.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 65.1% African American, 18.0% Hispanic or Latino, 12.0% White across the district's schools.

Cleveland Municipal student-counselor ratio is 306:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Cleveland Municipal is typically wider than the Cleveland Municipal-aggregate figure suggests.

Cleveland Municipal chronic absenteeism rate is 72.6% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
