Judith A Resnik Community Learning Center

Judith A. Resnik Community Learning Center is a flourishing K–5 school in Akron, Ohio that serves about 377 students with a generous ~13:1 student–teacher ratio with 27 full-time certified teachers--most with 3+ years of experience. The school shows robust academic performance: approximately 57% of students are math proficient and 72% proficient in reading, making Resnik one of the top elementary schools in the area. Approximately 51% of students are Black, ~32% are White, ~6% are Hispanic, ~1% are Asian, and ~10% are multiracial, with approximately 41% of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch.

Teachers also include teachers in the gifted program and one school counselor. Additionally, families benefit from an affordable housing market near Akron, where median home values are at about $134 K to $157 K, and important to Resnik's mission that the children are engaged in inclusive learning and to become part of an authoritative community identity rather than the inflated prestige of academic excellence.

After some discussion and concern in April 2025, Resnik CLC has recently implemented the Raptor visitor management system to increase campus security during school hours.
