Summary

Mason Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Akron City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Student performance at Mason Community Learning Center is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in science, compared to 42.1% in the Akron City district and 63.4% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.1% to 47.4% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

The challenges faced by Mason Community Learning Center are not unique, as the nearby schools within the Akron City School District, as well as the local charter schools like Middlebury Academy, Akron Preparatory School, and Edge Learning, also struggle with low student performance and high chronic absenteeism. This suggests a systemic challenge within the Akron education system that requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
