Great Expectations at Cleveland Elementary School
"Cleveland Elementary is a highly acclaimed school, which makes Cleveland a sought-after neighborhood," Splaingard says of the institution, which is rated B on Niche. Kids in pre-kindergarten through grade 4 are taught using the Great Expectations teaching model, a professional development methodology for teachers and administrators created by Oklahoma Hall of Fame nominee Charlie Hollar. In 2022, the school won the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture's Best Community Collaboration Award for its student education garden created in partnership with OKC Beautiful, an affiliate of the Keep America Beautiful organization. Students in fifth through eighth grades can attend the C-minus Taft Middle School. The school is the site of the historic Taft Stadium, which was built during the Great Depression and extensively renovated in 2015.

Regular events bring the neighborhood together
Cleveland residents have deep-rooted pride in their neighborhood. With historic Venice Boulevard connecting the Cleveland UCD and Venice neighborhoods, residents work together through a joint voluntary neighborhood association to maintain and improve their communities. The group sponsors several events throughout the year, such as garage sales and a Fourth of July parade. Word on the street — or, in this case, the boulevard — is that the neighborhood is a trick-or-treater’s paradise on Halloween.
