District-Level NCES Analysis

Cuyahoga Heights Local operates 3 public schools serving 809 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 774 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 $20,347 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 78.3% local, 17.6% state, and 4.1% 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 $105,678 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 59/100, ranked #208 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (9 AP courses district-wide), a 258:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 81.6% White, 7.6% Hispanic or Latino, 4.4% African American across the district's schools.

Cuyahoga Hts Elementary School accounts for 45.5% of all Cuyahoga Heights Local student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cuyahoga Heights Local-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
