Summary

Summit Public School K2 is a public charter high school serving 554 students in grades 7-12 in El Cerrito, California, which operates as its own district and currently earns a 3-star state rating.

The school serves a community with significant economic need, yet it achieves strong outcomes for its students, particularly in later grades and in graduation rates. Its 93% graduation rate notably outpaces the state average and many nearby schools like Richmond High and John F. Kennedy High. A standout pattern is the "11th grade leap," where students outperform state averages in English and science, suggesting the school's model fosters significant academic growth over time, though math proficiency remains a challenge across all grades.

When compared to other schools in the area, Summit K2 often performs better than those with similar student populations, such as Greenwood Academy. However, it faces a persistent issue with chronic absenteeism, which, while improved, is higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending is moderate, and it shows a notable performance gap between female and male students, an area that may benefit from targeted support.
