District Information

 
Located in the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, Mayfield City Schools are comprised of four diverse and dynamic communities: the cities of Highland Heights and Mayfield Heights and the villages of Gates Mills and Mayfield. The district serves approximately 4,100 students. Enrollment growth remains steady.
The District is comprised of four neighborhood grades K-5 elementary schools, grades 6-8 middle school and a grades 9-12 high school. In addition to administering these schools, the District oversees consortium programs which draw students from neighboring school districts: Mayfield Preschool offers programs to meet t each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, language, and physical needs; the Cuyahoga East Vocational Education Consortium (CEVEC), a program which prepares older developmentally-handicapped students for work and independent living; and Excel T.E.C.C. which provides vocational, technical, and job skill training to high school students.
The Mayfield City School District is proud of the broad spectrum of programs it offers. In addition to academics, Mayfield offers rich and diverse extracurricular opportunities for students, beginning in elementary schools. Elementary after-school latchkey programs also are offered on-site, but are privately managed.
Continuing and improving upon its reputation for academic excellence, while addressing the diverse needs of its student body, are the primary goals of the District and its school community. Voter support in in November 2016 for a 5-mill Operating and a 1.9-mill Permanent Improvement levy allows the District to continue to offer an exemplary education as well as to address the safety, health, security and infrastructure needs at every school building in the District.
