How Middlebury Academy compares with Ohio and U.S. medians
What stands out at Middlebury Academy
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Middlebury Academy enrolls fewer students than most Ohio schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Middlebury Academy's 45.8% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Middlebury Academy is a mid-sized charter elementary school in Akron, Ohio, enrolling 253 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 19.5:1 puts it in the larger third of Ohio schools by student-teacher ratio.
Enrollment of 253 puts it in the smaller third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 95% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is led by African American (80%) and Two or More (13%) (diversity index 34/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 45.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Middlebury Academy spends $20,359 per pupil, 39% above the Ohio average, a better-resourced district than most.
Among Akron's elementary schools, it stands alongside Bath Elementary School (662 students): Middlebury Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (19.5:1 vs 19.5:1).
Middlebury Academy is a single-school charter district, so Middlebury Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
