Summary:
The Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners-Lorain is the sole elementary school in the Summit Academy Community School Alternative Learners-Lorain district, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 75 students in Lorain, Ohio.
This school is struggling significantly, with extremely low test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, where in many cases 0% of students scored proficient or better compared to state averages of 50-70%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 65.5%, which is much higher than the state average. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, its per-student spending of $8,206 is slightly below the state average, suggesting potential resource challenges.
The consistently poor performance over multiple years indicates that this alternative learning school is not adequately meeting the needs of its unique student population. Addressing the systemic challenges will require a concerted effort to provide additional resources, targeted interventions, and a comprehensive overhaul of the school's educational approach in order to improve student outcomes.
