Summary

Summit Academy Secondary - Canton is a small public high school in Canton, OH, serving grades 9–12 with 85 students. It operates as its own district. In 2025–26, it ranked 755th of 795 Ohio high schools (5th percentile) and received 0 stars, with a district rank at the 2nd percentile. Its school-level rank has stayed in the bottom decile for a decade, between the 5th and 14th percentiles. Nearby schools range from high-performing suburban campuses like Hoover High School (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and Jackson High School (86th, 4 stars) to other urban/alternative schools such as McKinley High School (17th percentile, 1 star) and Choices Alternative School (17th, 1 star).

Academically, Summit is weak across subjects, but math is the most severe concern. In 2025–26, 0% of students were proficient in Algebra I and Geometry—lower than every nearby school with data. English II proficiency was 23.5%, and American Government was 50%. Chronic absenteeism was 50.1%, meaning more than half of students missed enough school to be chronically absent. That is far above suburban neighbors like Jackson High School (12.4%) and Hoover High School (17.9%), though below Stark High School (73.7%) and Canton Harbor High School (85.8%). The school’s 87.5% graduation rate is a relative bright spot compared with Stark High School (70.0%), Canton Harbor High School (46.8%), and Choices Alternative School (30.1%), and slightly above McKinley High School (80.9%), but it has been volatile: 93.3% in 2023–24, 72.7% in 2024–25, and 87.5% in 2025–26.

Resources and subgroup results add context. Summit’s student-teacher ratio was 12.1 in 2024–25, lower than most nearby comprehensive high schools, but its 2018–19 per-student spending was $6,875—the lowest among nearby schools with data. Its highest-ranked subgroup is special education students, at the 16th percentile (1 star), still below average but better than its overall 2nd percentile and its low-income students at the 6th percentile. Female students rank in the 1st percentile. Small size and a lower student-teacher ratio have not translated into high achievement, and the school faces substantial challenges in math proficiency, attendance, and sustained graduation outcomes.
