Summary

Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati is a public charter high school serving 47 students in grades 9-12 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school is part of the Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati District, which is ranked 743 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Wyoming High School, Hughes STEM High School, and Finneytown Secondary Campus, Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati significantly underperforms across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's spending per student of $6,271 in 2018-2019 is also lower than the spending levels of many nearby schools, which may contribute to the school's challenges in providing a high-quality education.
