Akros Middle School

Public, Charter Grades 6-8

868^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,036 Ohio Middle Schools

Better than 16% of Ohio middle schools

Summary

Akros Middle School is a public charter school in Akron, Ohio, serving 124 students in grades 6-8. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is significantly underperforming compared to the state and nearby district schools.

Key challenges facing Akros Middle School include extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.4% to 69.3% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are also well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.3% of 8th graders were proficient in science compared to the state average of 63%, and math proficiency rates ranged from just 8.1% to 29.7% across grades 6-8. Akros Middle School struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio middle schools for female, male, African American, special education, and low-socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, nearby district schools like Tallmadge Middle School and Miller-South Visual Performing Arts significantly outperform Akros Middle School on test scores and other metrics, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests the challenges at Akros are not solely due to its student population, but rather systemic issues within the school that need to be addressed through comprehensive interventions and support.
