What Parents Should Know

At 6:1 students to teachers, Summit Academy Secondary - Akron sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Summit Academy Secondary - Akron is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.
