There are approximately 40,000 children enrolled in Cleveland schools. About 65 percent of the students enrolled are African-American. According to the school district, 15.6 percent of students are Hispanic and 15.4 percent are white. In 2015, 69.1 percent of senior students graduated, which is up more than 23 percent since the class of 2011.
