Summary

Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown is a small public charter high school serving grades 8-12 in Youngstown, Ohio, with a student population of just 99. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with extremely low test scores, dismal graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

The data paints a concerning picture of Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown's performance. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with 0% proficiency in 8th grade Math and Geometry in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 47.6% and 42.8% respectively. Its four-year graduation rates have ranged from just 40% to a projected 59.4% in 2024-2025, well below the state average.

While the nearby schools, such as Northeast Ohio Impact Academy, Chaney High, and Memorial High School, also face challenges, their performance is significantly better than that of Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown, which ranks in the bottom 5-10% of schools statewide. The school's small size, high poverty levels, and charter school status may be contributing factors to its poor academic outcomes, which have remained consistently low over the past decade.
