Summary:
Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in this area, with 127 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, which fall well below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 44.5% is also a major concern, potentially contributing to the poor academic performance.
Despite maintaining a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12:1, Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from School Digger. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests range from 0% to 29.4% in Math, 0% to 58.8% in English Language Arts, and 25% to 40% in Science, all significantly lower than the state averages.
