Cleveland’s first tuition-free all-girls high school is coming

A brand new, tuition-free, all-girls high school is set to open on Cleveland’s southeast side in 2026, aiming to close the equity gap for Black and brown girls who’ve had limited options. Dr. Luciana Gilmore, a former CMSD principal, is leading the charge with FORWARD Girls Leadership Academy, focusing on leadership, STEM, and global humanities. Unlike other private schools with steep tuition, this independent academy will be accessible to all, starting with 75 ninth graders. No sports teams at first—just a deep investment in academics and support. What do you think about single-gender schools as a way to boost opportunity and confidence? #Education #Cleveland #GirlsEducation
