Cleveland Akron, OH, September 16, 2026 —

Ratings typically range from one to five stars, with higher ratings signifying stronger performance in various educational metrics.
Maintaining a 2.5-star rating means CMSD is positioned in the lower half of the state’s rating scale. The report card evaluates districts on several components, though specific details for CMSD’s 2.5-star rating in the 2025-26 cycle and the exact metrics contributing to this score were not provided in the summary. Similarly, the specific rating achieved in the previous year, which CMSD has now matched, was not detailed.
The outcome suggests a period of stability in the district’s reported performance, without significant gains or declines according to the state’s assessment framework. School districts across Ohio are continuously assessed on factors that can include student academic achievement, progress, graduation rates, and readiness for post-secondary education or employment.
Further details regarding the specific performance indicators that led to the 2.5-star rating for the Cleveland Municipal School District, as well as comparisons to other districts within Ohio, would typically be available through the official Ohio Department of Education school report card portal. The summary provided indicates only the district’s overall star rating and the fact that it is consistent with the previous year’s results.
