About Cleveland Municipal School District
Families in zip code 44106 (Cleveland, Ohio) are assigned to Cleveland Municipal School District for public education through 8th. This overview covers the district’s funding levels, scale, rating, and what to expect from the enrollment process if you’re moving to or within this zip code.
Understanding the 1/10 Rating
Cleveland Municipal School District has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 1/10, placing it in the low-rated tier. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Ohio’s State Tests grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Ohio is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Cleveland Municipal School District holds a low overall rating, with reading and math proficiency among the lowest in Ohio on state assessments. Test results reflect many factors beyond the classroom, including community and economic conditions; a low score is a signal to research carefully, not a verdict on any individual school or teacher. Families in this area should research all available alternatives: inter-district transfers, charter schools, and magnet programs. Contact the district directly to understand exactly what programs are available at your assigned school.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 44106
Children in zip code 44106 are assigned to Cleveland Municipal School District for public school enrollment, covering grades 6th – 8th.

Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact Cleveland Municipal School District at (216)838-0000 or visit clevelandmetroschools.org/.

If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, bring that documentation to enrollment — Ohio districts are required to continue services within a reasonable period. Fall enrollment windows typically open in late winter or early spring; contact the district for exact dates and required steps.
