Actually it appear to be a public school, in partnership with Akron Public School system.
The Promise School
Not to get all semantical, but if its a public school, then Lebron James didn't open it. Public schools are arms of the state; Lebron James can give money to help support it, but he can't open it. He isn't the state.*

Also, the subtopic in this thread about Lebron's holyness or notholyness and how that should or shouldn't affect his likability or unlikability is silly. You can root for guys who aren't great dudes. You can dislike guys who are.
i.e., I don't like Roger Federer. This doesn't mean I think he killed Bambi, uses the N word when no one is around, or entertains thoughts that HB2 isn't necessarily the most evil legislation in the history of legislation. I just don't like him.
i.e. part 2, I do think Lebron James is a good human being, and I also like him and root for him. But the latter is not necessarily as a result of the former, nor does it need to be.

Obviously it will fall under the purview of Akron Public Schools, but because of that partnership, Lebron is technically opening a new school with them.
