Akron City

The Akron City school district in Ohio encompasses 44 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this diverse district vary widely in their academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics.

A few standout schools in the Akron City district include Akron Early College High School, which ranks 13th out of 864 Ohio high schools and has a 100% four-year graduation rate and exceptional test scores. National Inventors Hall of Fame School Center for STEM is a high-performing middle school, with 65.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in science and 100% proficiency in Algebra I. King Community Learning Center, an elementary school, also stands out with high proficiency rates in math and English language arts that exceed the district and state averages.

However, the Akron City school district as a whole struggles academically, with most schools performing well below the state averages on standardized tests. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across the district. Additionally, there is a significant achievement gap between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, highlighting the importance of equitable resource allocation and support for the schools and students most in need.
