School Overview

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.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
