Summary:
Schools in Imagine Leadership Academy consist of one elementary school serving grades 1–6 with 145 students in Akron, Ohio. With only this school in the Imagine Leadership Academy district, there are no cross-school comparisons, so focus on its trends and state averages. In 2025–2026 it ranked 1162 out of 1560 Ohio schools, in the 26th percentile with 1 star, up from the 16th percentile in 2024–2025; the district ranked 636 out of 773, in the 18th percentile with 1 star. The student-teacher ratio was 14.5:1 in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 23.1% in 2025–2026. Free/reduced lunch was not reported for 2024–2025, and per-student spending is only available for 2018–2019.
Test scores show strengths and serious gaps. In 2025–2026, 3rd Grade Math was the standout at 81.5% proficient versus 62.1% state, up 24.8 points. 3rd Grade ELA reached 63% versus 63.4% state, up 26.3 points, and 6th Grade ELA improved 22.5 points to 53.3%, only 2.7 points below state. 4th Grade ELA rose from 17.6% to 37%, though still 24.8 points below state, and 5th Grade Math improved to 35.3%, still 23.8 points below. The biggest concerns are 5th Grade Science at 5.9% versus 62.7% state, down from 15.8%, and 5th Grade ELA at 23.5% versus 70.4% state, down 29.1 points. 4th Grade Math was 29.6% versus 67.3%, and 6th Grade Math was 20% versus 56.2%. Only 3rd Grade Math exceeded the state average; 3rd Grade ELA was effectively at state, and all other reported grade-subject results were below state. The unweighted average improved to 38.8% from 31.1%, versus a 62.1% state average.
For parents, the main takeaway is that the school is improving in several grades but remains a 1-star school below state averages in most tested areas. The rank gain from the 16th to 26th percentile is encouraging but remains low. The sharp 5th Grade declines and very low 5th Grade Science result need attention. With 145 students in grades 1–6, each student can represent about 4–5 percentage points, so large swings may reflect small cohorts. Attendance also matters: 23.1% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026.
