Summit Acdy Community School for Alternative Learners of Middletown

Summary:

Summit Acdy Community School for Alternative Learners of Middletown is a small public charter elementary school serving around 90 students in grades K-6 in Middletown, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key issues facing Summit Acdy is its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state and nearby schools. In 2023-2024, the school had a 36.2% chronic absenteeism rate, which is much higher than the state average of around 20%. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test proficiency rates, is significantly below state and local averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.5% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, with white students and male students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools.

While the school has a higher percentage of white students (80%) compared to the surrounding Middletown City School District, which has a more diverse student population, this demographic difference does not appear to be a direct factor in the school's poor performance. The significant challenges faced by Summit Acdy, including chronic absenteeism, low academic achievement, and equity gaps, suggest systemic issues that require targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
