Summary

Harris/Jackson Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron City School District, serving 636 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school's performance on key metrics raises some concerns, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.

Harris/Jackson's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 43.5% to 47.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the Akron City average. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are also below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, such as 31.1% in 5th grade Science, 43.8% in 3rd grade Mathematics, and 46.8% in 5th grade English Language Arts. Additionally, the school ranks particularly low for certain student subgroups, like Asian students and students with disabilities.

When comparing Harris/Jackson to nearby schools in the Akron City and Cuyahoga Falls City districts, the performance gap becomes more evident. The Cuyahoga Falls schools, such as Richardson Elementary and Elizabeth Price Elementary, tend to outperform Harris/Jackson across various metrics, suggesting the Cuyahoga Falls district may be providing a higher-quality educational experience.
