Summit Academy Secondary - Akron

Summit Academy Secondary is a public charter school in Akron, Ohio, for kids in grades 7 through 12. It's very special because it helps kids with learning differences like ADHD, autism, and others. There are usually between 200 and 300 kids at this school, which is not very big. We keep the number of students per teacher very low, about 10 to 1. There are also families from all kinds of financial situations who live in Akron. It's strange that USA News summaries don't always include information about this school's academic performance, especially in math and reading. The money that Ohio charter schools get goes to things like special services, counseling, and people who help students when they need it. Kids take state tests, and some of them also take the SAT or ACT to get into college if that makes sense for them. They want to make a safe place where students with learning differences can get their footing in school and get ready to graduate.
