The school is part of the Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton district, which is ranked 744 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio high schools based on its academic performance.

The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 70.1% in recent years, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 46.7% and 84.2% over the past few years, well below the state average.

When comparing Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton to nearby public and charter high schools, such as Trotwood-Madison High School, it consistently performs worse across key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, with no clear signs of improvement. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach to improving the school's resources, instructional practices, and overall support for students.

What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, June 24, 2012

Summit Academy is a school where students don't have to be afraid to show their true selves. The principal, Mr. Gary Miller, does many things to keep this school an environment appropriate for learning. Students are required to wear uniforms to minimize inappropriate accidents, and to prepare the students for a college or job related situation. This school is designed to help students reach their educational, along with emotional and physical goals. The teachers take the time to have one on one with any student(s)struggling to succeed. A couple days a week, the students have time in the dojo for Martial Arts. This helps to relieve stress, work on managing emotions, along with learning respect for not only administrative figures, but their peers as well. The school is very small, but growing. The size has a major advantage though. The teachers are well aware of any inappropriate contact or conversations that go on in the school. Bullying is a big problem in a public school, but at Summit Academy, there is a no bullying policy. Summit is a wonderful place to go to for getting back in the game, or for anyone who had trouble in a traditional school environment Close Quote
