Summary

STEAMM Academy is a public middle school located in Canton, Ohio, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 500 students. Despite being part of the Canton City School District, which is ranked 610 out of 828 districts in Ohio, STEAMM Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

STEAMM Academy faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.0% to 40.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. Academically, STEAMM Academy students perform well below state and local averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, who rank in the bottom 20-30% of Ohio middle schools.

In contrast, middle schools in the neighboring Plain Local and Perry Local districts, such as Oakwood Middle, Pfeiffer Intermediate, and Edison Middle, significantly outperform STEAMM Academy and the other Canton City schools, with much higher test scores and rankings. While STEAMM Academy spends approximately $10,323 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4-13.2 is relatively low, suggesting that resources may not be the primary driver of the school's poor performance.
