While AkronFairgrove JrSr High School's graduation rates have generally been on par with or slightly below nearby schools, the school faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 21.8% to 30.8% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.67% to 70.76% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased from $12,118 in 2020-2021 to $16,631 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes at AkronFairgrove JrSr High School have declined over time, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 220 out of 561 Michigan high schools in 2020-2021 to 444 out of 739 in 2024-2025. The school's leadership and the Akron-Fairgrove Schools district should closely examine the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for addressing chronic absenteeism and improving student outcomes.
