Ward 7 is home to a significant number of public and public charter schools, including elementary, middle, and high schools such as Aiton, Beers, Drew, Burrville, C.W. Harris, H.D. Woodson, and Eastern High School. However, academic achievement remains a pressing concern. Math proficiency among Ward 7 students hovers around 11%, compared to the 23% citywide average. Out-of-school suspensions impact 8% of students—one of the highest rates in the city—reflecting broader challenges with engagement and support. Enrollment across Ward 7 has been declining in recent years, with more than 60% of students traveling outside of the Ward for educational opportunities. These challenges indicate systemic issues such as family mobility, dissatisfaction with quality, or limited access to specialized educational programs.
