Summary

Summit Academy Community School - Cincinnati is a small public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a student population of only 80 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

The school faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 42.7% to 82.5% over the past two years, well above the state average and nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance is very low, with only 9.1% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, 0% in Mathematics, and 9.1% in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like The Norwood Montessori School, Pleasant Ridge Montessori School, and St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School.

Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism and poor academic performance will be crucial for improving outcomes. Factors beyond just staffing levels, such as curriculum, instructional practices, and school culture, may be contributing to the lack of progress at Summit Academy Community School - Cincinnati, which has remained consistently low-performing over the past decade compared to other schools in the Cincinnati Public Schools and Norwood City districts.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, June 22, 2017

After my daughter attending Summit the bullying began and didn’t stop until we took her out of the school. The students told my daughter that they bully everyone it their way of dealing with new students, because they do not like the change. This is a skill that should be addressed and the student should be taught how to adjust to this and the skills to express how they felt. This did not just happen to my daughter, but to every new student that came into my daughter’s class. The bullying never stopped and I was only made aware of the situation through my daughter, never made aware of the situation through her teachers or any other staff at the school. I punished my daughter many times based only upon what the teachers told me. Constant emails about how my daughter was the problem, but together with the staff and myself we couldn’t figure out what he issues was and why she was the “one” causing the problems. I still regret not listening to my daughter, and I understand now how young students commit suicide. I just always took her teachers word for it. My last straw with the school was when her teacher emailed me and said that my daughter was being bad in class and that she kept getting into my daughter’s face (very out of character for my daughter), I then spoke to my daughter and she was jumped by 4 students. These students pushed, kicked, punched, and threw her belongings in the trash along with another girl, it was so bad throughout the year that my daughter told me she didn’t want to live anymore after she was jumped. The teacher never made me aware nor the other students mother about what was going on and what happened. And my daughter told me that she told her teacher about her being jumped in class, not in the hall or bathroom. Upon having a meeting with the staff, it was apparent it wasn’t a big deal and I was told time and again that I cannot know what happens to these students who did this to her. I spoke to every level of teacher and staff about this and it was just as if they could care less. After looking back, I am sure that they deal with more students bullying then being bullied, and they deal with a lot of underprivilege students were families are not involved in school and what goes on. I WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE PARENTS. I am aware of every aspect that I can be in to what is going on with my daughter I will be the first to stand up and defend a teacher and I back them up 100, but I would recommend to anyone who wishes to take their child or children here not to so unless you would like your child to have more problems then what they attended school with.I havent spoken to a lawyer yet, but I do plan on doing so in the next few weeks. I just don’t want to see what happened to my daughter happen to another child just be careful when making your decision on sending any child here. Close Quote
