Summary:
The city of Akron, Indiana is home to three schools that are part of the Tippecanoe Valley School Corp district, including one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the Akron area.
Among the standout schools in Akron, Akron Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in ILEARN Math across all grades compared to the other schools, as well as strong performance in ILEARN English Language Arts. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9. In contrast, Tippecanoe Valley High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 114th out of 398 Indiana high schools in 2022-2023 to 244th out of 431 in 2023-2024, and its test scores, particularly in ILEARN Biology and SAT Math, are below the district averages.
Across the district, the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 17.8% and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 55.06% at Tippecanoe Valley High School to 61.83% at Tippecanoe Valley Middle School. These factors may impact student learning and academic outcomes, and addressing them could be a priority for the district. By identifying and sharing best practices across the schools, the district can work to ensure that all students in Akron have access to a high-quality education.
