Summary:
The 44313 zip code area of Akron, Ohio is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Akron City School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals significant variation in academic performance, with Judith A Resnik Community Learning Center and Litchfield Community Learning Center standing out as the highest-performing schools in the area.
Judith A Resnik Community Learning Center, an elementary school, boasts the strongest academic performance, with high proficiency rates in 5th grade science, math, and English language arts, as well as the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the 4 schools. In contrast, Firestone Community Learning Center struggles with the lowest proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels. Litchfield Community Learning Center, the area's middle school, also stands out for its exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly outpacing the Akron City and Ohio averages.
The diverse student populations in these schools, with a significant percentage of African American students and a smaller but notable percentage of white students, raise questions about equity and the ability of these schools to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Firestone Community Learning Center, will be a key challenge for the district. Overall, the data highlights both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, providing valuable insights to guide efforts in enhancing the quality of education for students in the 44313 zip code area.
