Summary

Findley Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving 545 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Findley Community Learning Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools, also earning a 1-star rating.

Findley Community Learning Center faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.5% to 47.4% in recent years, which is much higher than the Akron City and state averages. The school's test scores are consistently well below the Akron City and Ohio state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 30-40% compared to 45-65% for Akron City and 60-70% for the state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Ohio elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low-socioeconomic status students.

While Findley Community Learning Center is performing poorly compared to state and district averages, it is not the only struggling school in the area. Several nearby schools, such as Portage Path Community Learning Center, Helen Arnold Community Learning Center, and ELP Essex, also have low rankings and test scores similar to Findley. The data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the root causes of the school's performance issues.
