Edge Learning

Edge Learning is the sole elementary public charter school located in Akron, Ohio, serving students from grades K-5. Based on the available data, Edge Learning appears to be a struggling school that is performing well below the state average across multiple academic measures.

Edge Learning has a very low ranking of 1351 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below the state average in both math and English language arts across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. For example, in 5th grade science, only 14.7% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 63.4%. Additionally, Edge Learning has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.8%, which can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.

While the data does not provide the free/reduced lunch rate for Edge Learning, the low performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest the school likely serves a high-need population. The school's spending per student in the 2018-2019 school year was $8,082, which is relatively low compared to the state average. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of a school that is facing significant challenges and is not effectively meeting the needs of its students.
