The small city of Barberton is a suburban community located just southwest of Downtown Akron. Nicknamed “The Magic City,” Barberton is well known for its preserved historic architecture, particularly the many French Renaissance Revival-style structures built by the town’s namesake, O.C. Barber, in the early 20th century.
While primarily a residential community serving large numbers of Akron-area commuters, the city features a large and diverse selection of shopping and dining options clustered at the center of town around Lake Anna. Lake Anna Park serves as a gorgeous common area for locals, best known for the magnificent cherry blossoms that come into bloom every spring -- the Cherry Blossom Festival in May is one of the city’s longest-running and best-loved community events.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
