King Community Learning Center

Summary:

King Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

King Community Learning Center consistently outperforms the Akron City School District and the state of Ohio in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 60.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to 39.5% for Akron City and 64% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well in serving specific student groups, such as African American students, White students, students with disabilities, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for these student groups.

While King Community Learning Center outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Akron City School District, including Crouse Community Learning Center, Schumacher Community Learning Center, and Portage Path Community Learning Center, in academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 227 out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 761 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance in serving its gifted and talented student population has been inconsistent, an area that may require further investigation and improvement.

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.
