Findley Community Learning Center

Summary:

Findley Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Akron City School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes 6.92% White, 30.78% African American, 26.41% Hispanic, and 29.14% Asian students.

Despite its diverse student body, Findley Community Learning Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than the state and Akron City averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 22.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in mathematics, compared to 62.1% statewide and 36.1% in Akron City. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.0% in 2019-2020 to 37.1% in 2021-2022.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Akron City School District, such as Portage Path Community Learning Center, Helen Arnold Community Learning Center, and Mason Community Learning Center, also perform poorly on state assessments and have low SchoolDigger ratings. However, some schools like King Community Learning Center and Harris/Jackson Community Learning Center have higher academic performance and better statewide rankings, suggesting that there is variability in the quality of education within the district.

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.
