Summary

Summit Academy North Elementary School in Romulus, MI, is a public charter school serving 642 students in grades PK through 5, where a large majority of families (73%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Summit Academy North currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 17th percentile statewide, placing it well below most nearby schools. For example, in 3rd-grade math, only 23.3% of Summit students were proficient, compared to 59% at Wegienka Elementary School and 58.6% at Brown Elementary School in the Huron School District. This achievement gap persists across all subjects and grade levels. A particularly concerning trend is that student performance declines as they advance—5th-grade math proficiency drops to just 11.1%, suggesting students fall further behind over time. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with 38.9% of students missing significant instructional time in the 2024-2025 school year—roughly double the rate at nearby schools like Erving Elementary School (20.5%) and Bates Elementary School (20.0%).

There are some notable bright spots within the data. African American students at Summit Academy North ranked in the 34th percentile statewide, earning 2 stars—significantly better than the school's overall ranking. However, White students ranked in just the 7th percentile, a major area of concern. The school spends $12,687 per student, which is considerably less than the $16,620–$17,930 spent by higher-performing schools in the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District. For parents considering this school, it's important to weigh the low academic performance and high absenteeism against the school's relative effectiveness for certain student groups, and to compare options carefully with neighboring districts like Romulus Community Schools, where Hale Creek Elementary School ranks in the 45th percentile.
