Innes Community Learning Center

Summary:

Innes Community Learning Center is a public middle school in Akron, Ohio, serving 641 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which is ranked 606 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Innes Community Learning Center faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American (55%) and a consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio middle schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are well below state and district averages, with only 10.6% of 6th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 50.1% statewide and 19.5% in the Akron City School District. Additionally, Innes Community Learning Center has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.9% in 2019-2020 to 70.3% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

The only nearby school included in the data is Barberton Virtual Academy, which has a very different student population, with a majority of White students (80%) and a much smaller enrollment (10 students). However, Barberton Virtual Academy is also a low-performing school, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and high chronic absenteeism (33.2%). The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at Innes Community Learning Center, particularly for African American, disabled, and economically disadvantaged students, highlight the need for targeted strategies to address educational inequities and ensure all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities.

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.
