ABOUT CLEVELAND METROPOLITAN SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) is Ohio's third-largest public school system, serving more than 35,000 students.
CMSD strives to ensure that every child receives a high-quality education, regardless of the provider.

In our pursuit of a more fair, just, and good system of education, we strive to ensure that all of our learners, both scholars and educators, to be challenged with academically and intellectually complex tasks that are worthy of their efforts and provide them opportunities to demonstrate their best work.
