Warrensville Heights City School District

What Warrensville Heights City School District does

Warrensville Heights City School District is a public K-12 school district operating as a political subdivision of the State of Ohio, serving approximately 1,900-2,000 scholars across the tri-city area of Warrensville Heights, Highland Hills, and North Randall. The district operates four consolidated schools on a single campus between Northfield Road and Clarkwood Parkway: an Early Childhood Center (Pre-K and Kindergarten, capacity up to 200 scholars, 5-Star rated under Ohio's Step Up To Quality), an Elementary School (grades 1-5, approximately 715 scholars), a Middle School (grades 6-8, approximately 424 scholars with 40 certificated staff), and a High School (grades 9-12, approximately 630 students). Academic offerings include district-wide STEAM integration, 14 Career Technical Education programs via the Heights Career Tech Consortium, Tiger Tracks student-choice pathways (STEAM, Health Science & Public Safety, Early College, Business and Law, CTE), and College Credit Plus dual enrollment through Tri-C, Cleveland State University, and Kenyon College. Operational technology includes Infinite Campus for student information, i-Ready and Accadience for assessments, Yondr pouches for phone management, and mobile applications for family engagement.

Revenue is sourced from the Ohio state per-pupil foundation funding formula, federal consolidated Title programs (Title I-A, Title I Non-Competitive Supplemental School Improvement, Title II-A, Title IV-A, IDEA-B, IDEA Early Childhood Special Education, Expanding Opportunities), USDA-funded meal programs that deliver free breakfast and lunch to every scholar, and local property tax levies. The district operates a direct-to-consumer enrollment model that accepts both district residents and inter-district open enrollment transfers, with no tuition charged. A broad partnership ecosystem (Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Clinic, College Now Greater Cleveland, University Hospitals Ahuja, PNC Bank, Big Brothers Big Sisters, NASA Worldwide Classroom, and others) extends programming in healthcare, financial literacy, mentorship, and STEM. Under Superintendent Donald J. Jolly II, the district has executed the "Strive for 5" initiative following recovery from a State Takeover less than ten years ago, earning a 3.5-Star state report card rating for two consecutive years.
