Original Research by School Decision on Windemere Community Learning Center
Windemere Community Learning Center is a small elementary school in Akron serving prekindergarten through grade five, with a diverse student body in which the majority of students are white, with meaningful representation of Black, multiracial, Asian, and Hispanic students. The school enrolls roughly a quarter-thousand students across seven grade bands, with the largest classes in the middle elementary years.
State test results show solid proficiency across the subjects tested. In English language arts, about two-thirds of students tested scored at proficient or above. Math proficiency runs a few percentage points lower. Science proficiency is the strongest area. These results place the school below the midpoint among other schools in Summit County on an overall proficiency index, though a parent may want to look into the school's context further with staff, as school-level test results can shift year to year and reflect the particular cohort taking the test in any given spring. Only one year of recent testing data was available, so trend information is missing.
The housing market in the surrounding area is moderately priced relative to state and national benchmarks, with median home values and monthly rents both experiencing year-over-year gains. Properties in the Akron area are more affordable relative to income than the national benchmark. Mortgages and rent take up about one-sixth to one-seventh of household income, by current data. The city of Akron itself is undergoing intentional housing growth, with city initiatives to encourage infill development and affordable housing construction.
The parent district, Akron City Schools, passed a significant property tax and bond measure in November 2024, the first new school taxes approved by voters in years. This funds operations and construction of a new North High School. Before the levy, the district cut hundreds of positions including dozens of teaching roles. At the same time, the district has implemented a college and career academy model system-wide across its high schools and is rolling it out to elementary grades, using an inquiry-based, social-emotional learning framework that shifts instruction toward career pathways and industry partnerships. This is a substantial pedagogical shift affecting all students in the district.
The school's website or direct contact with staff would answer questions about class size, special services, language learners, and whether programs like the college and career academy framework are yet in place at the elementary level in this building.
