Summary:
There is one middle school in this area: Akros Middle School, a 6th–8th grade school in Akron, Ohio serving 127 students. It is the only school listed under the Akros Middle School district, so parents here have a single school to evaluate rather than a set of schools to compare against one another.
Test results improved in most areas between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Seventh grade English Language Arts is the clear bright spot: 63.0% of students were proficient against a state rate of 62.7% — the only tested area at or above the state, and up from 16.2% the year before. Seventh grade math rose from 8.1% to 30.4%, 8th grade math from 21.4% to 37.1%, 8th grade ELA from 19.0% to 34.3%, and 8th grade science from 33.3% to 42.9%, though each remains below the state rate. Sixth grade went the other way: math dropped from 29.7% to 17.5% (state 56.2%, a gap of 38.7 percentage points) and ELA fell from 27.0% to 22.5% (state 56.0%, a gap of 33.5 percentage points). Averaged across all seven tested areas, school proficiency climbed from 22.1% to 35.4% while the state average moved only from 54.9% to 56.4%.
Chronic absenteeism stands at 52.9% for 2025–2026, meaning more than half of students were chronically absent — a serious risk factor for learning. Rank history improved from 875 of 1,046 (16th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 771 of 1,046 (26th percentile) in 2025–2026, but the school still carries a 1-star rating and a listed district percentile of 19. The student-teacher ratio is 15.4, and per-student spending is listed at $7,797 from 2018–2019, a dated figure. Free/reduced lunch data for 2024–2025 is not reported, so that context is unavailable.
