Summary:
There is one school in this area: Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners-Lorain, a K–8 school in Lorain, Ohio with 69 students enrolled — roughly 8 students per grade. It is served by the Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners-Lorain district. Because there is only one school, there is nothing to compare it against locally; the meaningful comparison is with Ohio as a whole, and there it ranked 1,555th of 1,560 schools in 2025-2026, placing it at the 0th percentile with 0 stars. Only about five schools in the state ranked below it, and it has held the 0th percentile for three straight years.
Test results are very low. Across six reported tests in 2025-2026, average proficiency was 9.6%, up from 3.0% the prior year, against a state average of about 61%. Ten of the 12 reported test results across two years are below 10% proficiency, including several exact zeros; math averages 2.9% versus ELA's 9.8%. The brightest spot is 3rd-grade English Language Arts at 25% proficient, up from 0% the year before. Chronic absenteeism is 67.5% in 2025-2026 — about two of every three students — the most striking non-test number in the file. On the positive side, the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 10.6, implying roughly 6–7 teachers, so class size does not appear to be the constraint.
Parents should read grade-level results with heavy caution: with about 8 students per grade, one student can shift a result by roughly 8–25 points, so grade-level swings are noisy. Several important facts are also missing. Free/reduced lunch is blank — unknown, not zero. Absenteeism, student-teacher ratio, and spending have no state benchmark in the file, so they can only be described in absolute terms. Per-student spending is $8,206 from 2018-2019, seven years older than the test data and too old to interpret alongside current outcomes.
