The bulletins are in and school I promd of LeBron James still fails, but there are “progress” made, according to recently published data from the Ohio Ministry of Education.
The realization scores for I promd, the LeBron school began in 2018 in collaboration with the city of Akron to serve children at risk, are always bad. Really bad.

Only two out of 75 (2.7%) I promise that the 7th year students successfully managed the state mathematics test in 2024-25. The state average is 50%.
What is the severity of test results? Most of the school notes have skill rates in one figure for adolescents. These percentages are systematically 40 to 50 points below the averages of Ohio State.
It is not only the mathematics with which LeBron schoolchildren find it difficult. Five of the 76 students of 6th year managed the English language arts test. It is 6.6%.
The state average is 54.5%.
Not a single note is close to the levels of competence on the scale of the state.
The school, as a whole, is firmly classified as a star in success. It is as low as the state classifies schools.
Hey, but it’s not all bad for LeBron’s school
But, despite these continuous problems for the LeBron school, Ohio Doe awarded the LeBron four stars team for “Progress”.
The state says that it exists: “significant evidence that the school has exceeded the expectations of students’ growth. Based on the” statistical evidence “collected by the DOE, it was determined that there is” evidence of growth “.
The light point seems to be the 5th year students who had the best skill figures in mathematics throughout the school. 20 of the 82 students succeeded in the test. This represents 24.4% of the class. The state average is 56.7%
Some call for these progress.
In 2019, LeBron boasted that his school was going to put children on the right track after suffering in public schools

“LeBron James has opened a school considered an experience. This is promising,” said New York Times less than a year after the school opened.
It was a feather in LeBron’s cap. The national media had the scenario he needed: LeBron is a hero.
“These children are doing incredible work, better than what we expected,” James said in the New York Times in 2019 after testing tests have shown that his school worked. “When we started, people knew that I opened a school for children. Now people will really understand the lack of education they had before coming to our school. People will finally understand what is going on behind our doors.”
It does not seem that the Times has written a single story on the results of the I promise tests since.
