ZIP code 44325 contains exactly one school, Akron Early College High School, a high school serving grades 9–12 with 399 students in the Akron City district. It is a standout single-school case: it ranked 3rd out of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026, 2nd out of 855 in 2024–2025, and 13th out of 864 in 2023–2024, earning 5 stars each year.

Test results are exceptionally high and stable.

The school beat Ohio state averages in every tested End-of-Course subject both years. American Government was 100% in both years and Algebra I was 98.1% in both years. Geometry was the relative lag—83.0% in 2025–2026 and 81.7% in 2024–2025—but still far above district and state averages, and its 2025–2026 school-vs-state gap of +39.7 points was the largest.
Other outcomes reinforce the profile. The 2025–2026 graduation rate is 100.0%, compared with 90.3% for the district, and chronic absenteeism is 3.6% versus 40.9% for the district—about 11 times lower. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 25.7, and per-student spending is $9,816 from 2018–2019; free/reduced lunch is not reported, so economic context is unavailable. Overall, 44325 is a one-school ZIP anchored by an elite early college high school that far outpaces both its district and the state on the available achievement, attendance, and graduation metrics.
