What stands out at Invictus High School

Invictus High School is a mid-sized charter high school in Cleveland, Ohio, enrolling 333 students.

Class loads run heavy: 25.6:1 is larger than about 93% of Ohio schools and 41% above the 18.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 31.9% lands close to the Ohio typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

With 333 students, its enrollment sits close to the Ohio median campus size.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 97% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 590 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Ohio schools statewide, it ranks #585, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly African American (93% of enrollment) (diversity index 14/100).

No Advanced Placement courses are reported for this campus in the federal data.

Its district draws 16.2% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Cleveland's high schools, it stands alongside Frederick Douglass High School (557 students): Invictus High School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (25.6:1 vs 42.8:1).

Invictus High School is a single-school charter district, so Invictus High School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
