Summary

Summit Academy North Middle School in Romulus, MI, is a public charter school serving 385 students in grades 6-8, and it is part of the Summit Academy North district.

This school faces significant academic challenges. On the most recent state tests, only about 18% of 6th graders and 13% of 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages near 38%. Math proficiency is even lower, with just 5.9% of 6th graders and 4.95% of 7th graders meeting standards—a fraction of the state average of roughly 32%. These results place the school well below nearby options. For example, Brownstown Middle School, located just 1.34 miles away in the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, serves a similar population but achieves dramatically better results, with 50% of 7th graders proficient in ELA. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with about 42% of students missing significant school time—far higher than the 27.8% rate at Brownstown and the 15% rate at Boyd W Arthurs Middle School in Trenton Public Schools.

There are a few bright spots worth noting. The school shows relative strength in serving its African American students, who ranked in the 42nd percentile statewide—better than the school's overall performance. Additionally, 8th grade Social Studies proficiency improved significantly to 35.9%, and 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts scores (56.1% proficient) are much closer to the state average than M-Step scores would suggest. The school spends about $12,579 per student, which is considerably less than nearby traditional public schools like Romulus Middle School ($21,362) and Robert J West Middle School ($20,017). However, Seitz Middle School in Riverview Community School District spends slightly less ($12,315) yet achieves far better outcomes, suggesting that resource allocation—not just funding levels—is key. Addressing the high absenteeism rate could be one of the most impactful steps the school can take to improve student success.
