Chagrin Falls Exempted Village Schools

What Chagrin Falls Exempted Village Schools does

Chagrin Falls Exempted Village Schools is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 400 East Washington Street in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, operating four schools that span the full K-12 continuum: Gurney Elementary School (grades K-4, South Russell), Chagrin Falls Intermediate School (grades 5-6), Chagrin Falls Middle School (grades 6-8), and Chagrin Falls High School (grades 9-12). The district is a government entity governed by an elected Board of Education and is funded entirely through local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants — no tuition is charged to district residents and there is no private ownership or parent company. Programs include 28 Advanced Placement courses across core content areas, a performing arts academy delivered through the Excel TECC consortium, athletics, music, STEM, special education, and world languages.

Technology infrastructure is standard for the K-12 sector: Infinite Campus for student information management, Apptegy for the district website and customer-facing platforms, and iOS/Android mobile applications for parent and student communications, with ParentSquare handling mass community messaging. The district has invested in dedicated innovation leadership — an Assistant Superintendent of Innovation, Technology, and Communication role — and was nationally recognized in 2026 by SchoolCEO for a people-centered approach to AI in education, though no proprietary AI products or published research have been disclosed in the source data.

The district's commercial "go-to-market" is direct enrollment of resident families via standard district registration processes (including half-day and full-day kindergarten options), supported by a multi-channel communications stack spanning the official website, mobile apps, social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram), and ParentSquare. Recent strategic activity has emphasized quality recognition (NAMM Best Communities for Music Education, Ohio 5/5 star state report card, U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School for the middle school), community partnerships (Chagrin Valley Rotary, Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Great Lakes Theater, Junior Achievement, Girl Scouts STEM Center), and discretionary grant capture (Ohio School Bus Safety Grant, Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District grant).
