East Community Learning Center

Summary:

East Community Learning Center is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Akron, Ohio, with a student population of 970 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Akron City School District, which is ranked 606 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Community Learning Center faces significant challenges in terms of student performance. The school has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 78.3% in 2020-2021 to 85.4% in 2023-2024, but this rate is still lower than the state average and some nearby schools, such as Ellet Community Learning Center and Garfield Community Learning Center. Additionally, East Community Learning Center has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 81.2% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Academically, East Community Learning Center consistently underperforms the state and Akron City averages across various subject areas and grade levels on the Ohio State Tests. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.6% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 50.1%. While the school has a higher percentage of African American and multi-racial students, it is underperforming compared to nearby schools within the same district, suggesting that there may be underlying challenges that need to be addressed to improve the overall educational outcomes at East Community Learning Center.

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.
