Summary

Summit Academy-Youngstown is a small public charter school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving 124 students in grades K–7, which makes it one of the smallest schools in its immediate area.

On academics, Summit Academy-Youngstown ranks near the bottom of Ohio schools: 1,476th of 1,560 in 2025–2026 (5th percentile, 0 stars), while its district ranks 765th of 773. Test proficiency is far below state averages. Only 11.1% of 5th graders met the science standard versus 62.7% statewide, and 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency was 0%. Math results in grades 5, 6, and 7 were 5.6%, 6.3%, and 5.3%. The strongest results were 4th grade math at 42.1% and 4th and 5th grade ELA at 36.8% and 33.3% — still below state averages. Nearby schools generally do better: Austintown Intermediate School and Austintown Elementary School in Austintown Local Schools (ranked 209th of 773, 4 stars) post proficiency around 72–90%, while Stambaugh Charter Academy, Horizon Science Academy Youngstown, and Youngstown Preparatory Academy all rank higher than Summit. Only Harding Elementary School shows similarly severe gaps.

Attendance is a challenge: 45.9% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, down from a peak of 51.2% in 2023–2024. That is lower than Harding Elementary School (62.9%) and Stambaugh Charter Academy (52.6%), but far above the Austintown Local Schools schools (about 17–19%). Notably, Summit has the lowest student-teacher ratio of any nearby school with data — 7.5 in 2024–2025 — yet its test scores remain among the lowest in the area. Its 2018–2019 per-student spending of $7,418 was also the lowest among comparison schools. Families should weigh the small classes and recent attendance improvement against the school's broad, long-standing academic gaps.
