Original Research by School Decision on Intergenerational School The
The Intergenerational School is a small K-8 charter district serving families in Cleveland. Its single school operates with an enrollment of just over two hundred students spread across nine grades, making it one of the smallest districts in Cuyahoga County. The student body is predominantly Black, with a very small representation of other racial groups and no reported Asian, Hispanic, or multiracial enrollment except for a handful of students across those categories.
The district does not report state proficiency data, which means families do not have public test-score comparisons to other county districts. A graduation rate is not applicable because the district serves only through eighth grade. However, the district has recently published information about measurable progress on Ohio's School Report Card, with publicly reported gains in its overall rating and a sharp improvement in the state's Gap Closing metric in the past year. Chronic absenteeism, a metric the state tracks closely, stands notably better than the midpoint among Cuyahoga County districts, suggesting the school has made meaningful strides in getting students to attend regularly.
The district went through a significant structural change during the 2024-2025 school year when it merged another campus into its Buckeye-area location on Shaker Boulevard. That merger brought a new principal in his first year, many new teaching staff, and a reshaping of the student body. For prospective families, this means the school is in active transition. The newly consolidated team and recent attendance improvements point to intentional work on student engagement, but the timing of major staffing and enrollment shifts may affect continuity in the near term. A parent may want to visit the school and ask how the merger has stabilized and what the current instructional focus is.
Per-pupil spending at the district sits in the middle range of county expenditure, in the lower half. State testing data for proficiency was not available, so families cannot see how students perform on Ohio assessments relative to the county. The district's own reporting shows momentum, yet the absence of public proficiency figures means a family seeking detailed academic performance information would need to ask the school directly about student learning outcomes and curriculum design.
