Better than 24% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Harris/Jackson Community Learning Center is a PK–5 elementary school in the Akron City School District in Akron, Ohio, serving 473 students; in 2025–2026 it ranked 1,188th of 1,560 Ohio schools (24th percentile, 1 star). That is a real climb for a school that sat in the 10th–12th percentile between 2015 and 2017, but it still leaves Harris/Jackson Community Learning Center in the bottom quartile statewide.

Academically, the picture is mixed and looks better against the district than against the state. On the seven reported 2025–2026 tests, Harris/Jackson beat the Akron City district in Math 3, Math 5, ELA 3, ELA 4, and ELA 5, but trailed it in Science 5 and Math 4 — and it trailed Ohio on every reported test. A rough unweighted average across those tests puts the school near 44.4% proficient, close to the district's roughly 42.7% but well below Ohio's roughly 63.8%. Among nearby schools, that average is above Barber Community Learning Center, Findley Community Learning Center, and Portage Path Community Learning Center, close to Forest Hill Community Learning Center, but below King Community Learning Center and most Cuyahoga Falls City School District schools. Fourth-grade math is the sharpest concern (31.6% versus 44.2% district and 67.3% state), while fifth-grade math has improved steeply, from 17.1% in 2023–2024 to 45.5% in 2025–2026.

Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 19.5% in 2025–2026, down from 24.1% and far below the district's 40.9%, though King Community Learning Center, Forest Hill Community Learning Center, and the Cuyahoga Falls schools post even lower rates. The student-teacher ratio was 13.8 in 2024–2025, mid-range among neighbors, and 2018–2019 per-student spending of $10,199 was lower than most same-district neighbors — historical context only. Statewide subgroup effectiveness rankings varied widely: African American students (49th percentile) and English Language Learner students (47th percentile) landed near the median, above the school's overall 24th percentile, while special education students (14th percentile), White students (10th percentile), and Asian students (3rd percentile) ranked much lower.
