PORTAGE PATH COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER

Portage Path Community Learning Center is a public elementary school that is part of the Akron City school district, located in Akron, OH with about 303 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 17 teachers, Portage Path Community Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Portage Path Community Learning Center, located in the historic West Hill area of Akron, Ohio, is a public elementary school serving students within the Akron Public Schools district. As a "Community Learning Center" (CLC), the school is designed to function as more than just a traditional academic institution; it acts as a neighborhood hub that integrates educational programming with social services and community resources to support the holistic development of its students and their families.

The school emphasizes a collaborative approach to education, aiming to foster a supportive environment where students can thrive academically and socially. By partnering with local organizations and utilizing its facility for after-school programs and community events, Portage Path works to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and real-world engagement.
