Summit is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in the Ojai Unified School District, with 183 students. While Summit has a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, and the Ojai Unified School District is ranked 726 out of 1,543 districts in California, the school's performance on key metrics has been quite variable over the years.
Summit's 4-year graduation rates have ranged from 81.3% to 91.1%, generally higher than the state average but lower than some nearby Camarillo Academy of Progressive Education. However, its dropout rates have been higher, ranging from 2.6% to 18.8%. Chronic absenteeism has also been an issue, with rates ranging from 0.5% to 24.9%. Academically, Summit's test scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST Science exams are consistently lower than the state averages and the nearby Golden Valley Charter school.
While Summit serves a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.33% to 40.27%, this socioeconomic factor alone does not fully explain the school's underperformance compared to the state and nearby charter schools. The variability in Summit's metrics and its lower academic outcomes suggest the need for further investigation and potential improvements to better serve its student population.
