Better than 18% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Summit Academy Secondary School - Middletown is a public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in Middletown, Ohio, with a small student population of 70. The school is part of the Summit Academy Secondary School - Middletown District, which is ranked 709 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Ohio high schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. Its performance on Ohio state tests is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school has also struggled with very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 65.9% in 2021-2022, which is over 3 times the state average. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 53.3% to 87.5% over the past few years, well below the state average.

While the school appears to have a strong focus on serving special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking relatively higher (top 25%) for these student subgroups compared to its overall ranking, it lags significantly in academic achievement, graduation rates, and student engagement when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Lakota East High School and Monroe High School. The school's low per-student spending of $6,609 (compared to $9,780 at Lakota East and $9,765 at Monroe High) may contribute to its academic and operational challenges.
