Posted June 28, 201014 yr Are there any streets in Cleveland proper, OTHER than those around Shaker Square which are part of the Shaker Hts School System, that are not part of the Cleveland Municipal School System, but rather a neighboring suburban district (like Lakewood, Rocky River, Euclid, etc.)? Thanks!
June 28, 201014 yr Wouldn't you have to live within whatever city's limits to be part of a particular district's school system? Thus, if you live in Cleveland, you'd be part of CMSD no matter where the streets are?

Shaker's school district includes some streets in Cleveland side near Shaker Square, though I think that's the only CMSD exception.
June 28, 201014 yr Map of Cuyahoga County SD's http://www.puc.state.oh.us/pucogis/sd2007_pdf/sd035.pdf More counties here: http://www.puc.state.oh.us/pucogis/sd2007_pdf/SD2007.HTML
June 28, 201014 yr Interesting that this topic would come up again. Here's a map of Cuyahoga Co. school districts showing municipal boundaries: http://www.puc.state.oh.us/pucogis/newcntymaps/sd035.pdf Wouldn't you have to live within whatever city's limits to be part of a particular district's school system? Thus, if you live in Cleveland, you'd be part of CMSD no matter where the streets are? No, and Columbus, OH is probably the best example in the state. Large parts of "Columbus" aren't in the Columbus school district, which has made annexation easier to swallow for a lot of people.
June 28, 201014 yr I believe there are some parts of Cleveland just southwest of Coventry/Shaker Blvd which are also in the Shaker School District. Right where Mayor Campbell lived. This is not uncommon in the area. There are small parts of Cleveland that are in the SE-Lyndhurst SD I believe. Parts of SE that are in the CH-UH SD. Parts of CH that are in the EC SD, and vice versa.

June 28, 201014 yr I know there are parts of Fairview Park that are in the Rocky River school district.

Looking at a map, I guess that makes sense.
June 28, 201014 yr There is a taxing district in Cuy Co that is City of Cleveland/Berea Schools - I believe this stems from the I-X/NASA land swap between Cleveland and Brook Park some years ago. (there is a corresponding district for City of Brook Park/Cleveland Schools). Not sure there is any residential property in that district, however. Maybe Ruple Pkwy behind Hopkins? CLEVELAND 102.4 68.06 2.08% CLEVELAND/BEREA 110.7 73.71 2.26% CLEVELAND/SHAKER 205.4 110.49 3.38% http://auditor.cuyahogacounty.us/realprop/calculate.htm
June 29, 201014 yr Wouldn't you have to live within whatever city's limits to be part of a particular district's school system? Thus, if you live in Cleveland, you'd be part of CMSD no matter where the streets are? The majority of the Buckeye/Shaker neighborhood is included in the Shaker Heights School District. That includes the Larchmere Area, Shaker Blvd, Buckeye, Moreland, etc. That, I know for a fact. But one other area in the city that I believe is part of another school district but am not 100% sure on, is the in the North Collinwood area. The area around 185th to 200th (on Cleveland's side of the border), I BELIEVE is included in the Euclid School system. Maybe someone else here knows.

Looking at a map, I guess that makes sense. Parts of those streets are Shaker proper but considered to be the Shaker Square neighborhood. Same with Chesire, Kendall and 127 St. All or Part of those streets are in Shaker proper but considered the Shaker Square neighborhood. Buckeye and Larchmere are sections of the Shaker Square Neighborhood, which in itself - minus the shaker addresses - is apart of the Shaker Buckeye ward.
June 29, 201014 yr ^Thanks. I believe Plymouth Church (my mom's church) is right on the border and anything east of there is Cleveland. I remember that Mayor Campbell lived in one of the first houses over the border, which is why there was always a cop car parked on Drexmore right where it merges with Chadbourne.

I remember that Mayor Campbell lived in one of the first houses over the border, which is why there was always a cop car parked on Drexmore right where it merges with Chadbourne. You mean west. Drexmore is a street where a portion is in Cleveland and Shaker. It's confusing for someone to know the exact border. The most confusing is Haddam at my corner. The portion that intersections with Larchmere and Coventry is Shaker. So is the northeastern side of the street that intersects with Shaker and Coventry. If you're on Haddam between Cormere and Ardoon you're in Cleveland. As a result a portion of the point building is in Shaker.
June 29, 201014 yr Right.... west it is. That is a common mistake on my part because, ever since I was a kid, my 'mental map' of the Cleveland street grid is upside down. Consequence of growing up in the Heights where going up is actually south and going down is north.

June 29, 201014 yr The OP asked about the west side. I'm not sure why we continue to debate the city limits and streets of Shaker?
June 29, 201014 yr From my neighborhood, heading to the lake (north) is almost all downhill and heading away from the lake (south) is almost all uphill. It's why they call it the 'Heights'
June 29, 201014 yr The OP asked about the west side. I'm not sure why we continue to debate the city limits and streets of Shaker? Because we already determined that no part of the west side of Cleveland is in any other school district.
June 29, 201014 yr From my neighborhood, heading to the lake (north) is almost all downhill and heading away from the lake (south) is almost all uphill. It's why they call it the 'Heights' I think what's confusing to us is why you would assume uphill should equal north. :)
June 29, 201014 yr The OP asked about the west side. I'm not sure why we continue to debate the city limits and streets of Shaker? Yes the OP would like to know if there are street on the Westside like this. There is not debating, just some fun facts. And it does relate to the topic at hand since the streets are in the SHCSD not the CMSD. ;D
June 29, 201014 yr The OP asked about the west side. I'm not sure why we continue to debate the city limits and streets of Shaker? Because we already determined that no part of the west side of Cleveland is in any other school district. We did? I see the question was asked, but I didn't see anyone definitively answer one way or another. There was one post about fairview/RR but that was it in response to his clarification that he's (she's?) looking for W side.

It's why they call it the 'Heights' I think what's confusing to us is why you would assume uphill should equal north. :) Funny how the mind of a 5 year old works sometimes... I suppose you had your geography all down by then :-P The OP asked about the west side. I'm not sure why we continue to debate the city limits and streets of Shaker? Because it came up in the course of the conversation and is not worth making another thread. I'm sure the mods will do their job if they feel they need to.
June 29, 201014 yr From my neighborhood, heading to the lake (north) is almost all downhill and heading away from the lake (south) is almost all uphill. It's why they call it the 'Heights' As a life long Heights resident. I know I live in Cleveland now, but dont get technical on me! :P I would never make that connection. To me traveling east means going higher as you take fairhill or cedar UP to the Heights.
June 29, 201014 yr If there is a west side equivalent to the Cleveland / Shaker Schools, I have never heard of it, nor heard anyone else even so much as mumble about it. The "Cleveland Address, Shaker Schools." Has been advertised for quite some time. I'm sure if there were other areas like this they would have made it quite known, particuarly with city employees required to live in the city as long as they were.
June 30, 201014 yr The western border of Cleveland being the Rocky River valley precludes a lot of what might have happened with the east side. Where the border isn't a geographical feature it is a major commercial street, Brookpark Rd, W. 117th etc.
July 5, 201014 yr Thanks everyone for your input....sounds like no residential areas on the west side seems to be the verdict.
July 8, 201014 yr Okay--i've done the definitive research. the question was if there were any streets on the west side of the city that were served by a suburban school district rather than CMSD. i have found one LOCATION on the west side that is IN the city, yet not in CMSD. And i say 'location' because its not a street or block, rather ONE address on a street: 6511 Ruple Road with a zip code of 44142 -- not to be confused with the Ruple Road in South Collinwood. Google maps places this in the southwest corner of CLE airport, so my guess is that it came about as a result of some land swap for CLE expansion. However, i'm not sure that a house still exists there (per aerial photo) and land records show the house (whether or not its there) owned by the city of cleveland.
