Summary:
Imagine Leadership Academy is the sole elementary school in this data set, serving grades 1-6 in Akron, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 133 students, the school has seen its performance decline in recent years, ranking 1306 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Imagine Leadership Academy struggles significantly, with test scores well below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade Science, the school's proficiency rate is 15.8% compared to the state average of 63.4%. Similarly, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates range from 15.4% in 6th grade to 56.7% in 3rd grade, while the state averages range from 51.9% to 69.1%. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates also lag behind, ranging from 17.6% in 4th grade to 52.6% in 5th grade, compared to the state averages of 54.5% to 67.7%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.8%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 12:1 is lower than the state average, its spending per student of $4,906 for the 2018-2019 school year is also lower than the state average. These factors, combined with the school's declining ranking and performance, suggest that Imagine Leadership Academy may be facing resource constraints and challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The data indicates a need for the school to closely examine its educational practices and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
