Summary:
Summit Academy Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Brooklyn, New York, with a total enrollment of 203 students. The school has seen a consistent decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 866 in 2021-2022 to 1032 out of 1242 New York high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Summit Academy Charter School has shown mixed results, with proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams varying significantly across subject areas. While some subjects, like Common Core English Language Arts, perform better than the state average, others, such as Chemistry and Common Core Geometry, lag behind. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.9% for the 2022-2023 school year are also areas of concern, as they are below and above the state averages, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $26,438 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.1 to 1, the data suggests that Summit Academy Charter School may face challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to address the academic needs of its predominantly low-income student population, as indicated by the high percentage (91.13%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
