Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton

Summary:

Summit Academy Community School for Alternative Learn-Canton is an elementary public charter school located in Canton, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade with a total enrollment of 104 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, followed by students of two or more races, African American, and Hispanic.

The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.3% in the 2019-2020 school year to 47.3% in the 2021-2022 school year, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking among Ohio elementary schools has been consistently low, placing it in the bottom quartile of the state.

The school's enrollment has decreased from 104 students in the 2022-2023 school year to 104 students in the 2023-2024 school year, which may be a concern and could impact the school's resources and funding. The school's performance among specific student subgroups, such as male students, White students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students, is also consistently lower than the state averages. Despite these challenges, the school's performance and ranking have remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement observed, suggesting that the school may be facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes and meeting the needs of its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
