What stands out at Spring Hill Elementary
Spring Hill Elementary is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Akron, Ohio, enrolling 478 students.
Class loads run heavy: 23.9:1 is larger than about 91% of Ohio schools and 31% above the 18.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 60.1% of students qualify for free meals, 90% above the Ohio average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 478 puts it in the larger third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 97% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 213 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Ohio schools statewide, it ranks #206, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by White (75%) and African American (13%) (diversity index 41/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 478 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 31.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 16.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Akron's elementary schools, it stands alongside Bath Elementary School (662 students): Spring Hill Elementary is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (23.9:1 vs 19.5:1).
