Private & church schools in Cleveland's West Side, Old Brooklyn & Ohio City
Neighborhoods from Ohio City and Detroit-Shoreway out to West Park and down to Old Brooklyn, where parish schools, a Jesuit high school and an all-girls Catholic academy sit inside the Cleveland school district, so families here use the Cleveland Scholarship. We list 23 schools here; 22 are on Ohio's chartered list.
About these records. Each school combines the federal Private School Survey (NCES 2023-24, or 2021-22 where a school skipped the latest round) with Ohio's state school directory (OEDS) and DEW's 2026-27 list of non-chartered schools, both pulled October 28, 2026. "Chartered" means OEDS lists the school as a chartered nonpublic school, the only kind that can take Cleveland Scholarship or EdChoice students; schools also register each year as providers, so confirm with the school. Neither agency collects tuition.
Which voucher? Most families in these neighborhoods live inside the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, so the Cleveland Scholarship, with no income test, is the voucher to start with; confirm your address against the district boundary.
