Summary:
The 44301 zip code area of Akron, Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals a mix of performance, with some schools consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of their respective school types in Ohio, while others show pockets of academic success.
The largest school in the area is Garfield Community Learning Center, a high school with 920 students. Despite its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88%, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools. In contrast, the smallest school, Akron Career Technical High School, has only 83 students and the lowest 4-year graduation rate of 77.8% among the high schools. The data also highlights the challenges faced by Main Preparatory Academy, an elementary school with just 80 students, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, though it shows some stronger performance in specific subjects like 6th-grade math.
Across the schools, high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 43.5% to 85.9%, are a major concern and likely contribute to the low academic performance seen in state test scores. Funding disparities, with spending per student ranging from $8,138 to $11,645, may also play a role in the varying levels of success. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this Akron City, Akron Career Technical High School, and Main Preparatory Academy community.
