Elementary Schools in Akron City

The Akron City school district in Ohio is home to 30 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are a mix of Community Learning Centers and traditional elementary schools, offering a diverse educational experience for the local community.

Several schools stand out in the district, with King Community Learning Center leading the pack. This school ranks in the top 822 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools and boasts the highest proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science compared to the district and state averages. Other high-performing schools include Windemere Community Learning Center, Ritzman Community Learning Center, and Case Community Learning Center, all of which rank in the top 1,000 Ohio elementary schools and demonstrate exceptional proficiency rates across multiple subject areas.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing schools within the Akron City district, as well as compared to state averages. Additionally, the district faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may impact student learning and achievement. The data suggests that the district could benefit from addressing equity, resource allocation, and strategies to improve attendance across all its elementary schools.
