Summary

Hyre Community Learning Center is a 679-student middle school serving grades 6–8 at 2385 Wedgewood Dr in Akron, Ohio, part of the Akron City district, which ranks 643rd of 773 districts statewide (17th percentile, 1 star). Hyre itself ranked 802nd of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 23rd percentile with 1 star. That is a decline from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019, when it sat in the 31st–35th percentile with 2 stars. Recent years have hovered at the 23rd–28th percentile with 1 star. Its most recent spending figure is $10,528 per student (2018–2019), and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 13.7.

Two differences stand out. Chronic absenteeism at Hyre was 50.5% in 2025–2026, above the district's 40.9% and roughly triple the rates at nearby National Inventors Hall of Fame School Center for STEM (15.0%), Miller-South Visual Performing Arts (15.5%), Tallmadge Middle School (16.3%), Field Middle School (17.1%), Schrop Intermediate School (17.7%) and Mogadore Junior High School (18.8%). Only Akros Middle School (52.9%) and Summit Academy Akron Middle School (51.2%) are in the same range. On achievement, Hyre generally exceeds the Akron City district average in math and English language arts but trails state averages widely — Math 8 proficiency is 19.1% versus 77.8% at Tallmadge. Hyre does outperform Jennings Community Learning Center, Summit Academy, and I Promise School in most subjects.

The clearest strength is Algebra I, where proficiency has ranged from 80.8% to 100%, far above district and state averages — though it reflects a small group of advanced students, not all 8th graders. ELA 7 (44.1%) and ELA 8 (40.4%) are also bright spots. Persistent weaknesses include Math 8, below 25% proficiency in recent years, and Science 8, which slipped from 38.8% to 28.9%. Subgroup results are uneven: students with disabilities rank at the 5th percentile statewide and gifted students at the 9th, while low-income students rank 23rd. Attendance, Math 8, Science 8, and targeted subgroup support are the most actionable priorities.
