Best Public Schools in Akron, NY

Summary:

The city of Akron, New York is home to three schools that are part of the Akron Central School District, which is ranked 175 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools serve students from elementary through high school and have consistently strong academic performance.

Akron Elementary School and Akron Middle School stand out as exceptional, with students scoring well above state averages on English Language Arts, Math, and Science assessments. Both schools have maintained 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and high statewide rankings, placing them in the top 25% and 12% of New York elementary and middle schools, respectively. In contrast, while Akron High School performs well on Regents exams, it has a slightly higher dropout rate than the state average and a lower SchoolDigger rating compared to the other two schools.

Across all three schools, the Akron Central School District appears to be allocating resources equitably, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios. This investment in education is likely a contributing factor to the overall strong academic performance observed in the data. While the high school may have some areas for improvement, the consistent excellence of the elementary and middle schools suggests that the Akron Central School District is effectively supporting and nurturing student learning throughout the educational pipeline.
