About This School

Preschool | Grades K-12 | Akron Digital Academy

Akron Digital Academy is located in Akron, OH and is in Akron Digital Academy School District. It is a charter school that serves 584 students in grades K-12.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Akron Digital Academy did not make AYP in 2011. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Ohio in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Akron Digital Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Akron Digital Academy had 19 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Ohio average is 16 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Akron Digital Academy's students and teachers. more

Akron Digital Academy

L. S.: I would like to say at first i was against my daughter attending Digital; however i found it to be a great experience for her. Mrs. Fry was extremely helpful to me & my daughter. She will be graduating 2012. The teachers at Digital showed care and concern for the students, unlike some of the other Akron Public Schools. I hope this program continues for students that can adapt to this type of learning.

Thanks again for all your support
