Public, Charter Grades

Summary

Summit Academy Middle School - Columbus is a small public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Columbus, Ohio, with a student population of just 33 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small size, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Ohio, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are alarmingly low, with 0% proficiency in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages ranging from 46.3% to 62.1%. Additionally, Summit Academy Middle School - Columbus has experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.9% to 61.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. When compared to nearby middle schools like Bexley Middle School, Champion Middle School, and Hamilton Middle School, Summit Academy Middle School - Columbus stands out as an outlier, with significantly lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism.

Despite being in operation for several years, the school has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance or state rankings, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in Ohio. The school's declining enrollment and shifting racial composition, with a decrease in the percentage of African American students and an increase in the percentage of White students, do not appear to have had a positive impact on the school's educational outcomes. Overall, the analysis of Summit Academy Middle School - Columbus reveals a school that is struggling significantly in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and overall educational outcomes, suggesting that substantial interventions and improvements are needed to address the challenges facing this institution.
