Summary:
The 44311 zip code area of Akron, Ohio is home to two struggling elementary schools: Leggett Community Learning Center and Reach Center Summit Lake. Both schools serve high-poverty student populations and face significant academic challenges, with Leggett Community Learning Center consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years and posting test scores well below state and district averages.
Leggett Community Learning Center has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and only 12.5% of its 5th-grade students were proficient or better in math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 56.7% statewide. The school spends $10,514 per student, slightly above the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 12.1, slightly higher than the state average. In contrast, Reach Center Summit Lake lacks available data on test scores and rankings, suggesting it may be a specialized or alternative school.
The data highlights the significant challenges facing schools in this high-poverty area and the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success. While the information provided is limited, it suggests a lack of educational options and pathways for students in the 44311 zip code, with only two elementary schools represented in the data set. Improving the performance and diversity of educational offerings in this area should be a priority for the Akron City school district.
