Summit Academy Akron Elementary School

Summit Academy Akron Elementary School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Summit Academy Akron Elementary School District located in Akron, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 115 students, the school has faced significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Summit Academy Akron Elementary School had a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests were also well below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, ranging from 10.5% to 45.5% proficient in math and English language arts, compared to state averages of 56.7% to 69.1% in math and 61.3% to 67.7% in ELA. This pattern of low academic performance has persisted over the past few years, with little improvement observed.

The school's below-average spending per student of $6,946 in the 2018-2019 school year, coupled with a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 12.7 in the 2023-2024 school year, may suggest that the school is operating with limited resources, which could be impacting its ability to provide high-quality instruction and support for students. Addressing the school's persistent academic challenges, high chronic absenteeism, and potential resource constraints will be crucial in ensuring that students at Summit Academy Akron Elementary School receive the education they deserve.
