5 Stars Progress. 5 Stars Gap Closing. 4-Star Overall.

You're here because you want proof, not promises. Ohio's own state report card gave Lake Erie College Prep the highest marks in student growth and gap closing — 5 Stars in Progress, 5 Stars in Gap Closing.

At Lake Erie Preparatory School, we believe every child in Cleveland, Ohio, deserves an education where creativity takes flight and academic potential is realized. As a tuition-free, K–8 public charter school serving the Collinwood and Northeast Cleveland communities, we provide a safe and supportive learning environment.

We differentiate our approach through a rigorous, data-driven curriculum that ensures no student is left behind or held back from their full potential. Our scholars don’t just learn—they grow into leaders through:

• Personalized Academic Growth: We use frequent progress monitoring to tailor instruction in reading and math, accelerating learning for every student.

• Character & Leadership: Accountability and resilience are woven into daily life, preparing students with the self-advocacy skills needed for high school and beyond.

• A Culture of Belonging: Through restorative practices and strong family partnerships, we create a structured space where students are known, supported, and challenged.
