Summit Academy Charter School

Q: Is Summit Academy Charter School a good school?

Summit Academy Charter School ranks 763 rd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Summit Academy Charter School is a public charter school serving 422 students in grades K-8 in Coral Springs, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and science, and serves a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby traditional public schools.

Summit Academy's students excel academically, with 88% proficient in Algebra 1 compared to 58% in Broward County and 55% statewide. The school also outperforms on Civics and math assessments across multiple grade levels. This consistent academic performance has earned Summit Academy a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Florida elementary schools. Interestingly, Summit Academy's student population is more diverse, with higher percentages of Hispanic (52.61%) and Asian (4.98%) students than nearby schools like Parkside Elementary and Coral Park Elementary.

While Summit Academy has a lower rate of chronic absenteeism compared to those nearby schools, it serves a smaller percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.89%) than Coral Springs Elementary (85.41%) and Parkside Elementary (63.02%), suggesting it may be serving a more economically advantaged population. This raises questions about equity and access that the school and district may need to address. Overall, Summit Academy appears to be a high-performing school that is effectively serving a diverse student body, and its academic successes could provide valuable insights for other schools in the Broward County area.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
