About Cleveland School of Science & Medicine
Cleveland School of Science & Medicine is a public high school serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 379 students. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — built on a near-perfect academic score of 9.6 and a perfect 10.0 for student growth. The school ranks #1 among all 152 public schools in Cleveland and fifth among 886 high schools across Ohio.
Those two numbers tell the same story: this is one of the strongest public high schools in the state. The perfect growth score makes the case even more directly — students here advance measurably faster than expected regardless of where they started, which points to instructional quality rather than enrollment selectivity. With 379 students and a student-teacher ratio of 19.9 to 1, the school operates at a focused scale.
Specialized coursework in science and medicine requires smaller, more engaged classes, and the ratio supports that. For families comparing public high schools in the Cleveland area, few options come close on either academic achievement or student growth.
