What Our Lady of Angels School does

Our Lady of Angels School is a Catholic parochial school located at 3644 Rocky River Drive in Cleveland, Ohio, operating under the authority of the Diocese of Cleveland and accredited by the Ohio Catholic Schools Accrediting Association. The school enrolls 280 students across preschool through 8th grade for the 2025-26 academic year and is staffed by approximately 27 full-time teachers, 2 part-time teachers, 3 classroom aides, an assistant principal, an interim principal, and supporting auxiliary professionals including a speech/language therapist, school psychologist, school counselor, Title I/Basic Skills teacher, registered nurse, and fiscal liaison. Curriculum is developed by the Diocese of Cleveland in alignment with Ohio State Standards, supported by a 1:1 iPad or Chromebook device program and integration with over 40 third-party educational technology platforms including Google Workspace for Education, NWEA MAP Testing, Khan Academy, Duolingo, IXL, Kahoot, and Epic!.

The school generates revenue through a mix of tuition (preschool part-time at $3,350/year and full-time at $5,800/year), state scholarships covering K-8 tuition (Cleveland Scholarship, EdChoice Expansion, Jon Peterson Special Needs), a breakfast and lunch program operated by Diocese of Cleveland Nutrition Services, an after-care program at $10/day, transportation reimbursement from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, and donations processed through the myEoffering online platform. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families engage through the parish and school websites, tours, the myParish mobile app, YouTube live-streamed Masses, Facebook, and parish bulletins, with enrollment preference extended first to current families, then active parishioners, then non-parishioners and non-Catholics.

The institution celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2023 after continuous operation since the school opened on September 10, 1923 with 103 students. Recent strategic activity includes combining the Parish School of Religion program with St. Mark Parish for 2026-2027 and ongoing investment in the school's digital communications infrastructure. As a non-profit religious organization under the Diocese of Cleveland with no external equity ownership, the school is led pastorally by Rev. Robert C. Ramser and operationally by Interim Principal Miss Katherine Stary and Assistant Principal Mr. Bradford Dorland.

Direct peers

• Gesu Catholic School: Cleveland-area Catholic school under the Diocese of Cleveland serving elementary grades with similar curriculum standards and EdChoice participation. Direct competitor for Catholic families in the greater Cleveland market.
• Holy Family Catholic School: Cleveland Diocese K-8 Catholic school with similar parish-school integration, sacramental preparation programs, and tuition/scholarship funding model. Comparable in scale and operational structure to Our Lady of Angels.
• St. Edward Catholic School: Parish-based Catholic elementary school in the Cleveland area operating under the Diocese of Cleveland with similar K-8 grade coverage, faith-based curriculum, and scholarship participation. Competes for the same pool of Cleveland-area Catholic and non-Catholic families.
• St. Mark Catholic School: Parish K-8 Catholic school in the Cleveland area that partnered with Our Lady of Angels to combine PSR programs for 2026-2027. Comparable enrollment scale, similar Diocesan curriculum, and overlapping service area make it the most directly comparable peer.
• Urban Community School: Cleveland-based Catholic K-8 school serving a similar urban demographic with comparable scholarship-based affordability model and emphasis on serving non-parishioner families. Direct competitor for Cleveland-resident scholarship families.
• St. Dominic Catholic School: Cleveland-area Catholic K-8 school under the Diocese of Cleveland with parallel curriculum, EdChoice participation, and Catholic-identity programming. Directly competes for enrollment in the western Cleveland suburbs.
• St. Angela Merici Catholic School: Faith-based K-8 Catholic school in the Cleveland area operating under diocesan accreditation with similar preschool-through-grade-8 structure, scholarship participation, and parish-school governance model.
• St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School: Cleveland-area Catholic elementary school under the Diocese of Cleveland offering similar parish-affiliated K-8 education with extracurricular athletics (CYO) and sacramental preparation. Comparable peer for enrollment competition and operational benchmarks.

Broad incumbents

• Diocese of Cleveland Catholic Schools Office: The governing authority over Our Lady of Angels School and all other diocesan Catholic schools in the region. Sets curriculum, accreditation, tuition policy, and consolidates schools — making it the broad incumbent whose decisions shape the competitive landscape.

Others

• Cleveland Metropolitan School District: The public K-12 district in the school's primary service area. Not a direct competitor in the faith-based sense, but its transportation reimbursement relationship and the EdChoice scholarship program that diverts public funding to private/Catholic schools make it the most relevant adjacent institution for enrollment economics.
