Summary:
Akron School District No. R-1 in Colorado has only one high school, Akron High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, its statewide ranking has declined, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other high schools in the state.
Akron High School has a 84.2% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a relatively low 1.9% dropout rate. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% and below-average performance on standardized tests, with only 59% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT Reading and Writing, and just 28% proficient in mathematics, compared to state averages of 62% and 32%, respectively.
Additionally, Akron High School serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 52.89% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may be important priorities for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
