Summary:
The 48701 zip code area has only one school, AkronFairgrove Elementary School, which serves students from the Akron-Fairgrove Schools district. The school has a predominantly white student population, with a significant portion (71.1%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population facing economic challenges.
Academically, AkronFairgrove Elementary School's performance on the M-STEP assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others fall below. The school's 5th-grade students struggle the most, with only 12.5% proficient or better in Social Studies, significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 and high spending per student of $17,650 suggest that it has access to significant resources that could be leveraged to address these academic challenges.
One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%, which can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes. The school's leadership and the broader community may need to work together to identify and address the root causes of this issue to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
