Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School is a K-12 charter school serving 606 students in Cleveland, Ohio.

## History

[edit]

The school building, built in 1949, was originally St. John Cantius High School, closed in 1988.[2] The building later housed charter school I Can School Professor Avenue.

In May 2016, teachers at the school voted to unionize, joining the American Federation of Teachers.[3] The Center for Education Reform estimates that ten percent of charter school teachers belong to a union.[4]

In March 2017, Accel Schools took over the charter management contract for Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School and six other I Can schools.[5]

## Athletics

[edit]

The school offers basketball and volleyball. The basketball team competes in the Division III Garfield Heights tournament, but is ineligible for the 2018-2019 year.[6]
