Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati

Summary:

Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati is a public charter high school serving 55 students in grades 9-12 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Despite being in operation for over a decade, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio high schools, with concerning performance across key metrics.

The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a low of 60.9% in 2021-2022 to a high of 100% in 2022-2023, but the 2023-2024 rate of 91.7% is still below the state average. Proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are significantly below state averages across all subject areas, including just 0% in Geometry and 50% in American History, compared to state averages of 39.8% and 68.5%, respectively. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.7% in 2019-2020 to 53.2% in 2022-2023, well above the state average.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Wyoming High School, which has consistently ranked in the top 10% of Ohio high schools, the differences in performance are stark. Similarly, other nearby schools like Hughes STEM High School and Woodward Career Technical High School, while still underperforming the state, have significantly better academic outcomes than Summit Academy Transition High School-Cincinnati. The school's lack of improvement over time and its poor performance compared to demographically similar nearby schools suggest the need for substantial interventions to better serve 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.
