Summary

King Community Learning Center is a PK–5 elementary school serving 378 students at 805 Memorial Pkwy in Akron, Ohio, part of the Akron City school district. In 2025–26 it ranked at the 44th percentile of Ohio schools with 2 stars, while its own district sits in the bottom fifth of Ohio districts — a roughly 27-point gap between school and district that is the defining fact of this profile.

Within its immediate neighborhood, King Community Learning Center is the clear leader. Its 44th percentile is 14 points ahead of the next-best nearby campus, Case Community Learning Center (30th percentile), and 32 points ahead of its closest neighbor, Portage Path Community Learning Center (12th percentile), less than a mile away. In grades 3 and 4, King beats the state average in all four subject-grade combinations, by 5–12 points. Attendance is arguably its strongest metric: chronic absenteeism has fallen to 13.6%, versus 40.9% district-wide and 19.5%–53.1% among nearby schools. King also serves its special education and low-income students notably better than comparable schools serve theirs, with subgroup rankings sitting well above its overall position.

The open question is grade 5. Fifth-grade science proficiency dropped from 52.3% to 32.3% in a single year, and fifth-grade math shows the same pattern, now below both district and state averages — even though the same students scored well in third grade. Because today's third and fourth graders are performing strongly, this looks more like a cohort issue than a school-wide one. Meanwhile, the student–teacher ratio rose to 14.0, among the higher figures in the area, and per-student spending data is dated and on the low side. If the fifth-grade slide proves cohort-specific, King's incoming classes could push it back toward its 2023–24 peak.
