Summary:
Summit Academy Secondary – Akron is the only school in this grouping — a single stand-alone Summit Academy Secondary - Akron serving grades 9–12 at 464 S Hawkins Ave in Akron, Ohio, with roughly 60 students and no elementary, middle, or alternative campuses included, and it also stands alone as its own Summit Academy Secondary - Akron district record, so every number below describes this one building rather than a district-wide average.
What stands out in this school's favor is a graduation rate of 93.3% (2024‑25), by far its strongest result, and an unusually low student–teacher ratio of 6.6 (2024‑25) — about 9 teachers for 60 students, a level of individualized staffing most schools cannot match. American Government was a genuine bright spot in 2024‑25, when 83.3% of students tested proficient, above the state's 72.6%; it was the only subject-and-year combination in the entire data set that beat the state. The school's rating history shows 1 star in 2023‑24 and 2024‑25, then 0 stars in 2025‑26, with its state percentile rising from 15 to 19 before falling to 6.
Those strengths sit alongside real challenges. Proficiency fell below the state in 11 of the 12 subject-and-year measurements, averaging 24.7% against a state average of 63.2% in 2025‑26. Math is the deepest and steadiest weakness: Geometry posted 0% proficiency in both years, against state rates of 42.8% and 43.3%, and the math average trails the state by roughly 46 to 51 points. Chronic absenteeism affects 55.8% of students (2025‑26), the current rank is 747 of 795 with only 48 ranked schools below, and the school holds 0 stars. Parents should read individual year-to-year swings cautiously, since with cohorts this small a change of two or three students can move results by 20 or more points. Context is also incomplete: free/reduced lunch is reported with no value, and per-student spending ($7,231) dates to 2018‑19.
