The Cleveland Metropolitan School District is an urban public school system based in Cleveland, Ohio, serving about 37,000 students across more than 100 schools. It operates under the Cleveland Plan, a framework that ties school autonomy to accountability for outcomes, supported by Ohio House Bill 525. Within this model, individual schools manage staffing and budgets while the principal leads the school as the primary driver of high expectations and personalized instruction, aiming for measurable results. The district uses a Standards of Excellence framework that aligns with its Theory of Action to ensure timely central office support and a focus on student achievement. Its customers are students and families in the Cleveland region seeking access to public schools and a range of school options. In May 2026, CMSD partnered with the City of Cleveland's Department of Development and City Council to redevelop four former school properties—Audubon, Mount Auburn, Central, and Empire.
