Summary:
There is a single school in this area: Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown, a high school serving grades 8–12 in Youngstown, Ohio, with 82 students, and it operates as its own district, Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown. With only one school, there are no local peers to compare against, so the meaningful benchmarks are Ohio state averages and the school's own prior-year results. In state context, the school sits at the bottom: a reported rank of 768 of 773, 1st percentile, 0 stars, and three years of rank history placing it between the 2nd and 8th percentiles, also with 0 stars each year.
The school's 2025–2026 graduation rate is 70.4%, but chronic absenteeism is 77.3%, meaning most students miss enough school to be flagged. Test proficiency is far below the state almost everywhere. Averaged across the nine reported tests, the school's proficiency is about 16.1% versus a state average of about 61.2%, a gap of roughly 45 percentage points. The largest gaps are in 8th-grade Science, English II, and Algebra I; the smallest is Geometry, though proficiency there is still only 13.3%. Social studies are the relative bright spot, with American Government at 38.5% and American History at 40.0% — still more than 33 percentage points below the state. The student-teacher ratio is 8.6, per-student spending is listed only for 2018–2019 at $7,362, and free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so the current economic context is unknown.
Seven of nine tested subjects improved from the prior year, including roughly 15-point gains in both social studies subjects, while 8th-grade Science fell to 0.0% and English II slipped to 6.3%. With just 82 students, a few students can shift a subject rate by 10–15 percentage points, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously. The combination of bottom-tier rankings, very low proficiency, and high absenteeism — alongside a graduation rate well above tested proficiency — points to serious academic and attendance challenges.
