Hyre Community Learning Center

Summary:

Hyre Community Learning Center is a public middle school in Akron, Ohio, serving 713 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hyre Community Learning Center consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on state tests are generally lower than the Akron City and Ohio averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.5% in 2019-2020 to 53.6% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average. Hyre's performance on state tests varies significantly by student subgroup, with African American students performing better than their peers at the school but still lagging behind the state average, while the school's performance is particularly low for White students, multi-racial students, and gifted and talented students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Miller-South Visual Performing Arts and National Inventors Hall of Fame School Center for STEM, Hyre Community Learning Center's academic performance is generally lower, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The school's declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
