Summary

Summit Academy Secondary - Akron is a small public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Akron, Ohio, with a student population of just 54 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools over the past decade and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average compared to other schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on Ohio state tests generally well below state averages across all subject areas. Summit Academy Secondary - Akron struggles the most in core subjects like Geometry and Algebra I, with 0% proficiency in recent years. However, the school's special education students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 20-40% of Ohio high schools for this subgroup, suggesting the school may be providing effective support for this population.

Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Copley High School and Akron Early College High School, significantly outperform Summit Academy Secondary - Akron and the state average, ranking in the top 5-20% of Ohio high schools. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 58.1%, are a significant concern and likely contribute to its poor academic performance, suggesting this could be a key area for the school to address.
