Summary

Summit Academy Secondary - Canton is a public charter high school in Canton, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of just 70 students. This small school has consistently underperformed compared to state and local standards, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools over the past decade.

The school's low enrollment is a key differentiator, as nearby public high schools range from 264 to 2,130 students. Summit Academy Secondary - Canton also struggles with low performance metrics, receiving 0 or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger and having proficiency rates well below state averages across all subject areas. Specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students with disabilities, have particularly low performance at the school. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated significantly, ranging from 72.7% to 93.3% over the past 5 years, which is below the state average.

When compared to higher-performing nearby public high schools like Jackson High School, Hoover High School, and Perry High School, Summit Academy Secondary - Canton's proficiency rates are less than half in the 2024-2025 school year, revealing a stark contrast in performance. The school's concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2020-2021 to 62.5% in 2024-2025, may be contributing to its overall low academic outcomes.
