Public school enrollment has fallen in most districts in Cuyahoga County, consistent with the overall population loss. The largest decreases of more than 30% have been in Cleveland and East Cleveland districts. Several inner ring suburbs have also experienced large declines, while a few outlying suburbs show increased enrollments. High school graduation rates are difficult to calculate because some students may leave a district but graduate later. However, the graduation rates reported for Cleveland Metropolitan School District show an increasing trend since 2000. Trends for all Cuyahoga County districts combined show a variable pattern, likely reflecting to some degree the difficulty in accurately measuring graduation rates rather than real change.
