Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown

Summary:

Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown is a public charter high school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving around 150 students in grades 8-12. The school has a diverse student population, with approximately 49% White, 36% African American, and 7% Hispanic students.

Despite its diverse student body, Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio over the past decade, placing in the bottom 10% statewide. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below state averages across all subject areas, with only 15% of students proficient or better in Algebra I and 0% in Geometry, compared to state averages of 55.9% and 39.8%, respectively. The school has also struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 40% to 56% over the past five years, and high chronic absenteeism, with rates as high as 70.3% in recent years.

The challenges faced by Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown appear to be reflective of broader systemic issues within the Youngstown City area, as the nearby Choffin Career Center also performs poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as socioeconomic challenges, resource constraints, or ineffective instructional practices, will 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.
