Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 44310 include three schools — Findley Community Learning Center (K–5, 555 students), Harris/Jackson Community Learning Center (PK–5, 473 students), and Forest Hill Community Learning Center (K–5, 405 students) — all in the Akron City district, which ranks 643 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 17th percentile. All three are rated 1 star and rank in the lower portion of Ohio elementary schools.
Forest Hill is the relative standout of the three: best rank (25th percentile, stable across three years), lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.8% versus the district's 40.9%, highest average proficiency (about 45.0%), highest ELA average (about 55.0%), and highest 5th grade science score (40.8%). Its 3rd grade ELA score of 63.3% is essentially at the state average of 63.4%. Its weak spot is math, averaging about 36.3%, the lowest of the three. Harris/Jackson shows the strongest momentum, improving its average proficiency by about 5.6 points to about 44.4% and moving from the 19th to the 24th percentile; its 5th grade math score of 45.5% is well above the district's 33.9%, and absenteeism is 19.5%.
Findley has the largest enrollment and one bright spot — 4th grade math at 45.7% — but the lowest rank percentile (16th), lowest average proficiency (about 37.2%), lowest science score (35.6%), lowest 5th grade math (28.8%), and highest absenteeism (28.7%). Keep in mind that all three schools sit well below state proficiency averages (about 63.8%) in most tested areas; the "standout" labels here are relative to the district and to each other. Per-student spending data is from 2018–19, and free/reduced lunch figures are unavailable for all three schools.
