The two most important aspect about classroom of the elites are 1.) the character and 2.) the setting/environment. Things like plot are just a by-product of these two interacting and not what you should be looking for if searching for an anime similar to this show. The characters’ background of being smart and witty as well as mysterious/unknown to others is a very simple yet basic comparison between the two. Chances are, you like this troupe of the underdog protagonist surprising pretentious enemies. The importance of the setting here is what filters out every other show that has an overpowered protagonist as the premise. The background of these special school system has the ability to attract you to the show in the beginning as well as create situations (special exams vs competitions) that allow the characters to truly reveal their strength. If you are simply looking for an anime with overpowered character, you can just do an advanced search under the Shonen category, but if you want an anime that is similar to Classroom of the Elite, then the Irregulars at the Magic High School is most likely what you are looking for.
