Akron Public Schools are currently going through an $800 million rebuilding process that will take 15 years. The academic situation has improved recently as the city’s schools have been moved from “Academic Watch” to “Continuous Improvement” by the Ohio Department of Education.
Akron Public Schools have 2 performing arts schools. Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts and Firestone High School.
The University of Akron is home to over 23,000 students, making it the fourth largest public university in the state, and is a world leader in polymer research.
Also, just a short drive from Akron, Columbus is home to The Ohio State University. This world famous institution is always a national leader in both the academic and athletic departments.
