The Windemere Family is a close-knit group of parents that cares about their child(ren)'s education and elementary experience. Our PTA is very involved, with a lot of great volunteers. We strive to be the best elementary in the Akron Public Schools district. And we are very excited that Windemere ranked at the top for our OPT scores and attendance rates in 2003-04.

Windemere has been chosen as a "School of Promise" in 2004-05!

Our students range from grades K-5. Our schools colors are Blue & Gold, and our mascot is the Star..

For the 2008-2009 School year, while our new school is under construction, we will be housed at the Old Betty Jane building at 400 Darrow Road. Our phone number has remained the same during this transition.
