AkroTech High School

AkroTech High School is a small public high school at 274 Park St. in Akron, Ohio, serving about 67 students in grades 9–12, which makes it the smallest school in its local comparison group — far smaller than Akron neighborhood high schools such as Garfield Community Learning Center or North High School, each of which enrolls more than 900 students.

Academically, AkroTech outperforms the Akron City district average on all six 2025–2026 End-of-Course exams, and it tops East Community Learning Center, North High School, and Garfield Community Learning Center in every subject, often by double digits. Against Ohio as a whole, only American History comes out ahead (75% vs. 73.2%); Geometry trails the state by 18.3 points and Algebra I by 13.8 points. Subject scores have climbed steeply over two years — American History from 47.6% to 75%, English II from 42.9% to 53.8% — but with only 67 students, a few test-takers can move a rate by several points, so single-year figures are best read as directional.

The graduation rate is a genuine strength at 90.0%, essentially level with the Akron City district (90.3%) and far above other alternative-style schools nearby, including Akron Career Technical High School (64.5%), Steel Academy (61.5%), and Cascade Career Prep High School (14.0%). The clearest warning sign is chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 43.4% to 46.4% to 55.7% over three reported years — 14.8 points above the district average. Combined with roughly 71% of students economically disadvantaged, that pattern suggests students are finishing requirements despite missed instruction. Attendance and math are the two things to watch.
