Rimer Community Learning Center

Summary:

Rimer Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving 278 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. Despite being part of the Akron City School District, which has a 1-star rating, Rimer consistently outperforms the district and the state of Ohio in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Rimer's 5th-grade students achieved 65.4% proficiency in Science, compared to 39.5% for Akron City and 64% for the state. Similarly, Rimer's 5th-grade students achieved 84.6% proficiency in Mathematics, compared to 36.8% for Akron City and 57.4% for the state. This consistent academic success is particularly noteworthy, as Rimer's students from historically underserved populations, such as African American and low socioeconomic status students, also outperform their peers in the state and district.

However, Rimer Community Learning Center is facing a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.2% in the 2019-2020 school year to 37.7% in the 2022-2023 school year. This is notably higher than the state average and the surrounding schools, such as Voris Community Learning Center and Firestone Park Elementary School. Addressing this issue could potentially lead to improved academic outcomes for the school.

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.
