Its standout result is 3rd grade math at 81.5%, well above the state's 62.1%, though its 5th grade science (5.9%) and ELA (23.5%) are very low, so results vary sharply by grade. Crouse Community Learning Center trails in nearly every elementary subject.
Among high schools, Buchtel reports a 93.5% graduation rate — above the district's 90.3% — but a 63.9% chronic absenteeism rate, the highest in the ZIP, and very low middle-grade scores such as 8th grade math at 4.9%. Summit Academy Secondary - Akron is small at 60 students and posted 0% in Geometry, yet had a 93.3% graduation rate. Imagine Akron Academy serves only kindergarten and has no test data. Only one 2025–26 score in the ZIP beats the state average. Spending figures date to 2018–19 and free/reduced lunch data is unavailable, so comparisons are limited; even so, attendance and achievement broadly move together here.
