District-Level NCES Analysis
Maple Heights City operates 5 public schools serving 3,129 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Cuyahoga County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $15,120 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 966 Ohio districts by per-pupil spending. See how Ohio compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 39/100, ranked #518 of 806 in Ohio against a state average of 46, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 5 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 395:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 58.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.0% African American, 4.6% Hispanic or Latino, 2.1% White across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Abraham Lincoln School, with a diversity index of 28.7/100.

Maple Heights High School accounts for 30.6% of all Maple Heights City student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Maple Heights City-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Maple Heights City school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities
Maple Heights City school enrollment ranges from 445 students (lowest) to 956 students (highest), a spread of 511 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Maple Heights City student-counselor ratio is 395:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Maple Heights City chronic absenteeism rate is 58.4% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Maple Heights City has 5 schools, including 1 high, 1 middle, 2 elementary, 1 combined. Total enrollment is 3,129 students.
