Summary:
ZIP code 44303 in Akron, Ohio contains exactly one listed high school — Towpath Trail High School, a grades 9–12 campus serving 767 students that is also listed as its own district — so families in this area have a single public high school option rather than several schools to compare side by side.
Because there is only one school, the useful comparisons are to Ohio averages and to the school's own history. In 2024–25, Towpath Trail High School ranked 793rd of 855 Ohio high schools, with a percentile of 7 and 0 stars. The prior two years were similar: 813th of 864 (percentile 6, 0 stars) in 2023–24 and 762nd of 867 (percentile 12, 1 star) in 2022–23. Every reported End-of-Course subject is below the state average — American Government 38.7% versus 72.6% statewide, American History 29.5% versus 71.2%, Biology 28.8% versus 65.4%, English II 27.6% versus 60.4%, Algebra I 17.7% versus 59.4%, and Geometry 0% versus 42.8%. Chronic absenteeism for 2025–26 is 96.9%, and the graduation rate is 49.9%. The student-teacher ratio is 28.4. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so it is unknown from this record.
For parents, the picture is a small single-school ZIP where the school shows significant academic and engagement challenges: bottom-range state rankings across three years, proficiency below state averages in all six reported subjects, and very high chronic absenteeism alongside a graduation rate of about half the cohort. American Government is the relative bright spot at 38.7% proficient, though it is still 33.9 points below the state average, while Geometry and Algebra I are the lowest results. The Towpath Trail High School district serves this ZIP alone, so there are no local peers to weigh against it; no test scores in this record were suppressed by the state, and the data do not establish why these patterns exist.
