Summary:
The 44312 zip code area of Akron, Ohio is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving a diverse student population. While the schools exhibit a range of academic performance, a few standouts emerge, including Greater Summit County Early Learning Center, a top-rated charter elementary school, and Ritzman Community Learning Center and Windemere Community Learning Center, two traditional public elementary schools with strong academic results.
Graduation rates also vary, with Ellet Community Learning Center boasting a 95.5% four-year graduation rate, higher than the Akron City district and state averages, while Springfield Junior/Senior High School maintains a 91.0% four-year graduation rate. However, chronic absenteeism remains a significant challenge, with rates ranging from 20.8% at Windemere Community Learning Center to 55.7% at Ellet Community Learning Center.
The racial and socioeconomic diversity of the student populations across the schools is noteworthy, with the percentage of white students ranging from 49.51% at Summit Academy Akron Elementary School to 85.6% at Schrop Intermediate School. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also varies significantly, from 51.57% at Springfield Junior/Senior High School to 66.39% at Spring Hill Elementary. These disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address equity gaps within the Akron City and Springfield Local school districts.
