The History of the Ludlow Community Association
 Founded in 1957
click for larger map

The Ludlow Community Association took its name from the neighborhood elementary school — Ludlow School, at Ludlow and Southington Roads, shown as a red square on the map. About a third of the homes in the Ludlow area are in the city of Cleveland. This arrangement dates more than 80 years, with parts of Cleveland near what is now Shaker Square included in its school district.

In 1987, in a major reorganization, Shaker Heights closed four elementary schools, including Ludlow. The building is now used by PEP - Positive Education Program for its Greenview Day Treatment Center.
