Pinnacle Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-8

1170^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,558 Ohio Elementary Schools

Better than 25% of Ohio elementary schools

Summary

Pinnacle Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 730 students in grades K-8 in Euclid, Ohio. While the school is one of the larger in the area, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pinnacle Academy faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.1% to 48.6% over the past few years, well above the state average. The school's test scores are also consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with particularly low math proficiency rates. For example, in 2024-2025, only 15.2% of 6th graders were proficient in math compared to 51.9% statewide. While Chardon Hills Elementary and Shoreview Elementary, two nearby schools, also struggle, they generally outperform Pinnacle Academy on test scores and other metrics.

Pinnacle Academy's performance also varies greatly by student subgroup. While African American students perform relatively well compared to other Ohio elementary schools, ranking in the top 40% in recent years, other subgroups like special education and low-socioeconomic status students rank in the bottom half of the state. At $7,963 per student in 2018-2019, Pinnacle Academy's spending is also lower than the nearby Euclid City schools, which spend around $10,000-$11,000 per student. Addressing these issues will be critical for improving educational outcomes for the school's students.

WHAT THE TEACHER SAID ABOUT THIS SCHOOL IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. STUDENTS DON'T HAVE BOOKS AND THE STAFF IS POORLY ORGANIZED ,ALSO STUDENTS ARE BEING SUSPENDED FOR VERY SIMPLE REASONS LIKE TALKING IN CLASS THEY DON'T USE ALTERNATIVE PUNISHMENT LIKE IN HOUSE DETENTION,OR REMOVAL FROM CLASS ,THIS SCHOOL IS BASED ON PROFIT NOT STUDENTS AND THERE TEST SCORE TERRIBLE.

This school has many problems, mostly because it is fun by a for profit company. Extra curricular programs are non existent and students do not leave being a well rounded person. The middle school is poorly organized. It is wild and there is a lack of discipline. Close Quote
