Edge Learning

Summary:

Edge Learning is a public charter elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving 236 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Akron City district, which is ranked 724 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edge Learning faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and school metrics. The school has consistently low scores on the Ohio State Tests, with only 10.8% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. Edge Learning's statewide ranking among Ohio elementary schools has been in the bottom 20%, ranging from 1326 out of 1687 schools in 2013-2014 to 1379 out of 1577 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 41% to 50.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Barber Community Learning Center and Henry L Robinson Community Learning Center.

While the nearby schools also have relatively low rankings and academic performance, Edge Learning consistently underperforms compared to these schools, indicating that the challenges faced by Edge Learning may be more severe or systemic in nature. Over the past decade, Edge Learning's statewide ranking and academic performance have remained consistently low, with little to no improvement, suggesting that the school may be struggling to implement effective strategies to address the needs of its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
