Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy

Located along Shaker Boulevard in Cleveland, Ohio (10701 Shaker Blvd), the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy is an active, independent public charter district serving the surrounding urban community. Operating a single school campus within a large city setting, the academy provides specialized academic programming designed for early childhood and middle school learners from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Functioning as its own local educational agency for federal programs, this independent district offers a tailored learning environment for families seeking focused arts and social science integration within the public school system, easily accessible to local residents and reachable via its main administrative lines and online web portal.

For the 2024–2025 school year, the academy serves an enrollment of 388 students, maintaining a balanced distribution across the elementary and middle grades, with 200 male and 188 female pupils. Reflecting its metropolitan context, the student body is overwhelmingly composed of Black students (349), alongside multiracial (12), Hispanic (9), White (9), American Indian (6), and Asian (3) scholars. The district supports this student body with a substantial professional workforce of 74 full-time equivalent staff members, including 44 dedicated classroom teachers and 30 support personnel. This generous staffing structure yields an enviable student-to-teacher ratio of roughly nine to one, allowing researchers and prospective parents to see a clear institutional commitment to small class sizes, direct teacher engagement, and comprehensive student support.
