The school is part of the Garfield Heights City Schools district, which is ranked 713 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maple Leaf Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.7% in 2020-2021 to 54.1% in 2021-2022, which are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like William Foster Elementary (44.9%) and Elmwood Elementary (46.2%). The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates as low as 29.6% in 5th grade Science, 39.1% in 4th grade Mathematics, and 43.2% in 4th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 64%, 67.2%, and 64.1%, respectively.

The school's performance on the Ohio State Tests is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Disabled students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools in these categories. While the nearby schools within the Garfield Heights City Schools district also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic performance, some nearby schools in other districts, like Miles School and Warner Girls Leadership Academy, show slightly better academic outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just the district may be contributing to Maple Leaf Elementary School's performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
