Summary

Summit Academy-Youngstown is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-7 in Youngstown, Ohio, with just 118 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor performance.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.3% to 51.2% over the past several years, well above the state average. Academically, the school struggles, with proficiency rates on state tests as low as 5-18.8% in math across grades 3-7, and just 14.3% of 5th graders proficient in science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school also ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio schools for the performance of student subgroups like female, male, African American, special education, and economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby public and charter schools like Horizon Science Academy Youngstown, Kirkmere School, and Youngstown Community School, Summit Academy-Youngstown consistently underperforms across a variety of metrics. Despite being in operation for many years, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance, and its per-student spending of $7,418 is lower than the nearby Youngstown City and Austintown Local School Districts.
