Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton, a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Dayton, Ohio. With a total enrollment of just 78 students, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools, indicating significant room for improvement in the quality of education provided to its diverse student population.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton struggles with a four-year graduation rate of only 68%, which is significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 61.4%, more than double the state average, suggesting that addressing the underlying causes of student absenteeism could be a key focus area for improvement. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are also significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas, with the most significant gaps in Algebra I and Biology.
While the school's diverse student population could be a strength, the data indicates that Summit Academy Transition High School Dayton is currently not providing the level of education and support needed for its students to succeed. With lower spending per student compared to the state average, the school may require additional resources and funding to address its challenges and improve academic outcomes for its students.
