of 1,036 Ohio Middle Schools

Better than 18% of Ohio middle schools

Summary

Summit Academy Akron Middle School is a small public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Akron, Ohio, with only 76 students enrolled. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 57.8% in 2021-2022 to 37.5% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is consistently well below state and local averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11.8% of 6th graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 51.9%. The school's performance is particularly low for female, white, and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio middle schools for these subgroups.

In comparison, the nearby public middle schools, such as Kimpton Middle School, Field Middle School, and Tallmadge Middle School, significantly outperform Summit Academy Akron Middle School across a range of metrics, including academic achievement, chronic absenteeism, and student-teacher ratios. The school's small size, high chronic absenteeism, and consistently low academic performance suggest that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
