Summary:
ZIP code 44313 has just one middle school in the available data — Litchfield Community Learning Center, an Akron City district school serving grades 6–8 with 469 students. Because there are no other middle schools in the ZIP code to compare against, the most useful benchmarks are the district and Ohio state averages, plus how the school's own results have changed year over year.
The school's brightest spot is Algebra I: it reported 100% proficiency in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, far above the district (42.7%) and state (61.6%). However, no participation count is given, so this likely reflects a small group of advanced math students rather than all 469 students. In general subjects, Litchfield outperformed the Akron City district in every reported test in 2025–26, but remained well below Ohio averages, with gaps ranging from about -15 points in ELA 8 to -29 points in Math 8. Math is the weaker area overall — grade 6–8 math proficiency ranged from 23.0% to 29.4%, versus 33.6% to 42.9% in English language arts. ELA 8 posted the biggest improvement, rising 15.6 points to 42.9%, while Science 8, Math 6, Math 7 and ELA 7 slipped slightly.
Two things stand out as concerns. Chronic absenteeism was 40.5% in 2025–26 — roughly two in five students — only marginally below the district's 40.9%, and high absenteeism can hold back learning. The school has also been rated 1 star for three straight years, ranking 800 of 1046 schools (about the 24th percentile) in 2025–26. The district itself sits at the 17th percentile, so Litchfield is a relative bright spot within Akron City but still in the bottom quarter statewide. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not provided, and the per-student spending figure of $9,863 dates from 2018–19.
