Summary:
Schools in Edge Learning come down to a single school: Edge Learning, a K–5 elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving 249 students. The Edge Learning district lists 1 elementary school and no middle, high, or alternative schools, so this one school is the entire set. Families should know it is rated 1 star, ranking 687 of 773 Ohio districts (11th percentile) and 1305 of 1560 schools (16th percentile) in 2025–2026, though its rank has edged up from 1379 in 2023–2024.
Academically, every reported test score in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 sits below the state average. The overall simple average proficiency rose from 31.0% to 36.8%, narrowing the gap to the state from about 32.5 points to 27.0 points. Math and science drove most of that gain, while English language arts is weaker and roughly flat, at 39.3% then 37.0%. The clearest bright spot is 4th grade mathematics at 61.5% proficient, only 5.8 percentage points below the state average and the highest proficiency the school reports. Fifth grade science rose from 14.7% to 27.5% and 5th grade mathematics from 8.8% to 30.0%, but these are grade-level comparisons across different cohorts, not necessarily the same students improving. Third grade mathematics moved the other way, falling from 45.7% to 27.8%.
The most serious concern is chronic absenteeism at 53.1% in 2025–2026, meaning more than half of students were chronically absent — a real barrier to learning. Some context is also missing: free/reduced lunch is not reported, per-student spending is available only for 2018–2019 at $8,082, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.3 comes with no state or peer comparison.
