Summary
Pinnacle Academy is a K–8 charter school in Euclid, Ohio, serving 761 students—the largest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here. Its state accountability picture places it in the lower tier: the Pinnacle Academy district ranks 613th of 773 districts (21st percentile, 1 star), and the school itself ranks 1,201st of 1,560 schools (23rd percentile, 1 star). Rank history shows a long stretch of low overall performance—every listed year from 2014–15 through 2025–26 is 1 star, with percentile ranks ranging from 11 to 29. The best recent year was 2023–24 at the 29th percentile, slipping to the 25th and then the 23rd.
Academically, Pinnacle’s 2025–26 Ohio State Test proficiency is below the state in all 14 listed subject and grade combinations, averaging roughly 40% compared with roughly 60% statewide. The closest results to state averages are 8th grade math (48.4 vs. 52.0) and 6th grade ELA (54.3 vs. 56.0). The largest gaps are in 5th grade math (22.9 vs. 59.1), 4th grade math, 5th grade science, and 4th grade ELA. Compared with nearby options, Pinnacle generally outperforms Shoreview Elementary School, Hannah Gibbons-Nottingham Elementary School, Euclid Preparatory School, Bella Academy of Excellence, and Oliver Hazard Perry Elementary School in most overlapping grades, but clearly lags Chardon Hills Elementary School and often trails Noble Academy-Cleveland in elementary and middle grades; Pinnacle is stronger in 8th grade math, science, and ELA.
Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell from 48.6% in 2021–22 to 24.8% in 2025–26, better than the Euclid City average of 37.3% and the Cleveland Municipal average of 54.3%. Still, nearly one in four students is chronically absent. The student-teacher ratio rose to 22.3 in 2024–25, the highest among nearby schools, and 2018–19 per-student spending was $7,963—lower than most nearby district schools. One student subgroup ranks far higher than the school overall (58th percentile, 3 stars), while special education, low-income, female, and multiracial subgroup results are lower or have declined. Free/reduced lunch data was unavailable, and spending figures are dated.
