Dear Cleveland families,

Every child deserves a high-quality education. That is why our community worked together to create Cleveland’s Plan for Transforming Schools, a new efort to reinvent public education in our city. A key component of the Cleveland Plan is to ofer families citywide school choice, allowing you to choose the school that is the best fit for your student regardless of where you live. This book—printed by the Cleveland Transformation Alliance—will help you learn about the many public school options—district and charter— now available for your family.

The Cleveland Transformation Alliance is a key component of the Cleveland Plan. It is an advocate for quality schools. Serving as board chair of the Alliance reflects my deep commitment to Cleveland’s citizens to transform our school system so all children experience a high-quality education. As mayor, I will continue to lead the Alliance and all eforts within the Cleveland Plan, which aims to triple the number of Cleveland students enrolled in high-performing schools by the end of the 2018-19 school year.

As new schools open and established schools evolve to better serve our children, I hope you will use this book and visit ClevelandTA.org to explore your many options and get the information you need to be an advocate for your student and our community.

Sincerely,

Honorable Frank G. Jackson Mayor, City of Cleveland Chair, Cleveland Transformation Alliance Table of Contents

The Cleveland Transformation Alliance is a public-private partnership dedicated to growing a portfolio of high-performing district and charter schools. The Alliance works to ensure every child in Cleveland can attend a high-performing school and every neighborhood has great schools from which families can choose. The Cleveland Plan, our new citywide education reform plan, outlines four work roles for the Alliance:

• Assess the quality of all district and charter schools in Cleveland; • Communicate to parents about quality school choices; • Ensure fidelity to the Cleveland Plan; • Monitor charter sector growth and quality.

Background

In late 2011, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson charged the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the philanthropic sector, the business community and representatives of the charter sector to develop a plan to fundamentally reinvent public education in Cleveland. Cleveland’s Plan for Transforming Schools was presented to Ohio’s governor and legislative leadership in February 2012. The plan is based on an emerging national model— the portfolio strategy—that is showing promising results in other cities across the country. Key characteristics of this approach include: citywide choices and options for all families, school autonomy, student-based budgeting, external support, talent-seeking strategy, extensive public engagement, and performance-based accountability for all schools.

The Cleveland Plan details our city’s proposed transition from a traditional, single-source school district to a new performance-based system of district and charter schools that work in partnership to create dramatic student achievement gains for every child. It is built upon growing the number of excellent schools in Cleveland, regardless of provider, and giving these schools autonomy over stafng, time and budgets in exchange for high accountability for performance. The plan calls for tripling the number of Cleveland students enrolled in high-performing schools and eliminating failing schools by the end of the 2018-19 school year. The chart on the next page shows the four interwoven strategies of the Cleveland Plan. Grow the number of high-performing district and Focus CMSD’s central ofce on key support and charter schools in Cleveland and governance roles and transfer close and replace failing schools. authority and resources to schools. Cleveland’s Portfolio Schools Strategy Create the Cleveland Invest and phase in high-leverage Transformation Alliance to ensure system reforms across all schools accountability for all public schools in the city. from preschool to college and career.

House Bill 525—the Cleveland Plan—was signed into law in July 2012 and provides the district with vastly increased flexibility and autonomy, modernizes employment practices, promotes charter quality and collaboration and establishes the Cleveland Transformation Alliance. In November 2012, the voters of Cleveland passed Issue 107, the first successful levy in 16 years and the largest in the district’s history. The levy, which annually raises from $60 million to $70 million, is dedicated to implementing the Cleveland Plan with fidelity and enhancing partnerships with high-performing charter schools.

Cleveland is home to more than 160 district and charter schools. There are elementary schools, middle schools, K-8 schools, PreK-8 schools, 6-12 schools and high schools. With so many schools available, understanding school quality and determining whether a school is a good fit for your family can be a complicated process. The Transformation Alliance is here to provide information to families to help guide them through the process of choosing a school, and to help them find schools that reflect quality academic standards.

To help families find the best school that will meet their individual needs, this book profiles every public school option in Cleveland. The Alliance surveyed more than 900 parents to find out what’s important to them when choosing a school, and the results have been incorporated into this book and the interactive website, ClevelandTA.org. Each school profile features five quality indicators along with school-level demographic information, including race/ethnicity, special needs, and student and teacher attendance rates.

1. Academic Performance shows the school’s overall academic performance based on a combination of two state ratings. For K-8 schools, the two ratings are performance index (PI) and one-year value-add. For high schools, the two ratings are performance index and graduation rates. We call this the Alliance School Quality Framework (performance index, value-add score and graduation rates are explained fully in No. 5). Using these combined ratings, the Alliance School Quality Framework groups schools into one of four academic categories: High Performing, Mid Performing, Low Performing or Failing. For a school to rank as High Performing, it must have an A or B in both measures. For a school to rank as Mid Performing, it must have an A, B or C in both measures. Schools ranked as Low Performing have an A, B or C in one measure and a D or F in the other measure. Schools ranked as Failing have a D or F in both measures. Within those rankings, a school may fall higher or lower than others in that same category. If a school is not assigned a category under the Alliance School Quality Framework, it is too new to receive a rating based on state tests.

Academic Performance History shows where a school falls in the Alliance School Quality Framework over a period of up to three years. This will help you see whether or not a school is improving over time.

3. Community Reviews show what people with direct knowledge of a school—parents and guardians, students, educators and community members—think about the school. Community reviewers give a one- to five-star rating to a school, and the Alliance averages the reviews to come up with a single community review score. Some schools have no reviews yet; others have many. Every day, more community reviews are completed, so be sure to visit ClevelandTA.org to read new reviews and comments, and to add your own review of a school you know best.

4. School-provided Information includes school mission and educational philosophy, highlighted academic oferings, student engagement and activities, parent and community involvement, student resources and services, technology and safety. Participation is voluntary, and not all schools have responded to requests for information for this section. If you see that your school does not have a profile, ask your school’s leader to provide one: parents want to know about schools!

5. State-reported Information includes both State Ratings and Student Population. Ratings are letter grades given by the Ohio Department of Education for performance index, three-year value-add (K–8 schools only) and graduation rates (high schools only). The Ohio Department of Education does not yet give a school a single, comprehensive rating. If a school’s state ratings are listed as NR (not rated), this means it is too new to receive a rating based on state tests. If a school has NC (not calculated) under the heading Student Population, it is because the state does not provide data for groups with fewer than 10 children.

a. Performance Index measures the state test results of every student. There are six levels on the index and schools receive points for every student in each of these levels. The higher the achievement level, the more the points awarded in the school’s index. This rewards schools and districts for improving performance.

b. Value-Add looks at how much each student in grades 4 through 8 learns in a year. It answers the question – Did the students get a year’s worth of growth? Did they get more? Did they get less? Schools where students made a year’s worth of growth receive a C; those with more than a year’s worth of growth receive an A or a B depending on how much progress was made. Schools where students made less than a year’s worth of growth receive a D or F. The state uses a three-year average score, so there may be a diference between the state’s value-add score and the value-add score used for the Alliance School Quality Framework.

8 For more information and to rate schools online visit ClevelandTA.org, or call 211 to get help directly over the phone. c. Graduation Rates show how many ninth graders in a school graduated in four or five years. This score is used only for high schools.

Note: The state assesses and rates dropout recovery schools diferently, reporting four-, five-, six- and seven-year graduation rates for each school, along with the percentage of students passing all five state tests required for graduation. In this book, the Alliance displays the four- and six-year graduation rates, as well as the percentage of students passing all required tests.

To help families more quickly find the schools they are looking for, this book is divided into four major sections in the order they appear in the book:

1. Pre-school information; 3. High schools;

2. K-8 schools; 4. New schools.

Some schools may appear in more than one section: A school serving grades 6 through 12, for example, may appear in both the K-8 and high school sections; a K-8 school beginning its first, second or third year of operation may appear in both the new schools and K-8 sections.

This book serves as a resource for families looking to better understand and become advocates for high-quality schools in their neighborhood to both inform their own choices and to give them tools to communicate with staf and families at their child’s school. It also serves as a resource for everyone in the community who wants to become a better-informed advocate for their neighborhood and their schools, whether or not they have school-aged children. Our website features more state-reported information, links to Ohio Department of Education report cards, and more extensive community reviews, including comments from individual reviewers. For more information about the schools in which you are interested, including the most recent community reviews, visit ClevelandTA.org.

Step 1: Consider Your Child and Your Family Start your search for the best school by thinking about your child’s interests, current capabilities and special needs. Perhaps she has specific language or special education needs. Perhaps he has a particular interest in science, the arts, or sports. Think about your child’s learning style and best learning environment. Perhaps she needs a lot of structure to do well in school. Perhaps he does best in self-directed, independent classroom settings. Think about your child’s social needs. Perhaps being in school with neighborhood friends is really important. Perhaps she needs a fresh start and an opportunity to meet new friends. And think about practical issues. Do the school hours work for your family, so your child will get to school on time, every day? Do you want all your children to be in the same school? Keep all these issues in mind. After all, you know your child better than anyone else.

Step 2: Gather Information About Schools Make phone calls, collect written material from diferent schools and look for reports in your local paper to get the information you need. It’s also helpful to talk to friends and family members who may have experience with a particular school. Reach out on your neighborhood Facebook page or block club and ask parents what they think about their school. And of course, get information and read reviews about schools at ClevelandTA.org.

Step 3: Visit and Observe Schools Contact the schools you are interested in and make an appointment for a visit. If you can, tour the schools during regular school hours and visit a few classes. To get a realistic sense of how the school operates, avoid visiting schools during the first or last week of a semester or during testing. When you visit, observe how teachers interact with students and how students interact with each other. What is the building culture like? Does it seem like there are high expectations for students? Is the building clean? Are bathroom supplies well stocked? Other things to pay attention to include activity in the cafeteria during lunch and in hallways between and during classes, along with things like displays of student work throughout the school and the number of books in classrooms.

A good way to have your questions answered is to schedule an appointment with the school principal. If possible, attend an open house, parent-teacher meeting, or other school function that can provide valuable information about the attitudes of staf, students and parents. Listen closely to what teachers say about the school. The teachers will be the adults closest to your child, and you will want to know if they are well prepared, teach efectively, dedicated to children’s long-term success and happy in their work.

Step 4: Apply To The School(s) You Choose Once you select the schools you think will be best for your child, apply to each of them. Applying to more than one school gives you options, especially if your child is not admitted to your first choice. You will want to begin this process as early as possible in order to ensure you meet all deadlines—typically late winter of each year, although early enrollment deadlines at some charter schools are in January or February. Be aware that admissions processes vary from school to school. To enroll in some schools, your child may need to be tested or interviewed, or you may need to provide a school transcript, recommendations, or other information. You will want to double check to be sure you have accurate information on when and how to apply. What to Expect for Enrollment

Enrolling in CMSD Schools Open enrollment for Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) schools begins in January and ends in mid-March. During this period, families can visit www.chooseCMSD.org where they can learn about school options and choose the right school for their students. After the open enrollment period ends, students will be enrolled through a first-come, first-served process based on available capacity at the school. Enrollment specialists are available throughout the year to help families make the right school choice; they can be reached by calling 216.838.ENRL (3675). Additional information including school descriptions, enrollment applications and frequently asked questions are available at www.chooseCMSD.org.

Enrolling in Charter Schools Enrollment processes for charter schools can vary from school to school. To learn more or to enroll, visit individual school websites, and call or email schools for additional information. Just like CMSD, charter schools are public schools, open to all students, do not charge tuition, and do not provide religious instruction. They are required to follow state and federal laws and regulations relating to special education, teacher licensure, academic testing, etc. Unlike CMSD, charter schools are governed by independent boards of directors rather than by the Cleveland Board of Education. All charter schools enter into contracts with sponsors (called authorizers in other states), which are obligated to provide technical assistance and oversight of the charter school to ensure that it meets all legally mandated fiscal, academic and operational requirements. Sponsors approve the opening of new charter schools and make decisions regarding renewal and closure of schools.

Some charter schools also have management organizations that operate multiple schools. Management organizations are designed to allow schools to retain the benefits of autonomy and innovation, while capturing the benefits of collaboration and support structures, such as shared purchasing agreements, funding, stafng, data management, etc.

PRE4CLE: Expanding High-Quality Preschool in Cleveland

Research consistently shows that high-quality preschool promotes academic, social, emotional and physical readiness for children. The Cleveland Plan calls for expanding high-quality preschool to all four-year-old children across the city through school- based programs and community-based partners, with a goal of eventually expanding to three-year-old children. PRE4CLE is our community’s plan to achieve these goals.

High-quality preschool is available at many CMSD schools, some charter schools, and private providers. Parents should look for at least a three-star rating under Ohio’s Step Up to Quality rating system. Step Up To Quality means highly trained teachers, lesson plans focused on school readiness, safe and enriching classrooms, and engagement of families in their children’s preschool experiences.

High-quality Preschool in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District CMSD ofers half-day and full-day school-year preschool programs that address the language and cognitive development of students in addition to addressing the social, emotional, and physical needs of every child. Parents can expect to find a rich and stimulating child-centered environment and developmentally appropriate teaching strategies in every one of the preschool classrooms. To enroll in a CMSD preschool, a child must be four-years-old on or before September 30. There is no cost for CMSD preschool, but schools do not typically ofer before- or after-care services. For more information, contact the school directly or call CMSD at 216.838.0231.

CMSD also ofers half-day and full-day school-year preschool programs for three- to five-year-old students with special needs. Instructional activities, specialized instruction, and early childhood intervention services are provided for each child in accordance with a team-developed, specialized Individualized Education Program (IEP). Related services include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and curb-to-curb transportation. Itinerant services in an early childhood education setting are provided when appropriate. To be eligible for the special education preschool program, children cannot be of compulsory school age and must have a disability or exhibit significant delays. There is no cost for CMSD special education preschool, but schools do not typically ofer before- or after-care services. For more information, call CMSD at 216.838.1966.

High-Quality Preschool in Charter Schools Some charter schools ofer preschools themselves or in partnership with private providers. For more information, contact the school directly.

High-Quality Preschool in Private Programs Preschool opportunities are also available to families through childcare centers, Head Start, and home-based childcare settings, as well as through Cuyahoga County’s Universal PreK program. Many programs ofer full-day, full-year programs as well as extended-day schedules to meet the needs of working families. Families’ eligibility for private programs varies depending on income, employment status, and other factors. For information on your family’s preschool options and how to find a high-quality private preschool, please contact Starting Point at 1.800.880.0971 or www.starting-point.org.
