The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 33.3% of 8th graders proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 63%.
Akros Middle School faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.4% in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's per-student spending of $7,797 in the 2018-2019 school year was also below the state average for middle schools. Without additional data on the school's demographics and funding, it is difficult to fully understand the factors contributing to its consistently low performance.
