Summary:

Schumacher Community Learning Center is an elementary school in Akron, Ohio, serving 337 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Schumacher Community Learning Center faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the district. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.8% to 48.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the Akron City and state averages. Academically, the school's performance on the Ohio State Tests is significantly lower than the Akron City and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Schumacher Community Learning Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the lowest 1-star rating category by SchoolDigger.

While Schumacher Community Learning Center faces significant challenges, there may be opportunities to leverage its strengths, such as the diverse student population and the potential for community engagement, to drive improvements in academic performance and student outcomes. Nearby schools within the Akron City School District, such as Judith A. Resnik Community Learning Center, Portage Path Community Learning Center, and King Community Learning Center, have higher academic performance, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better statewide rankings, suggesting that Schumacher Community Learning Center may face unique challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.

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.
