Pinnacle Academy

Pinnacle Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Euclid, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 720 students. The school is struggling academically, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite its diverse student population, with 88.19% African American and significant representation from other racial/ethnic groups, Pinnacle Academy consistently underperforms on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in subjects like 5th grade science and 8th grade math.

One of the school's most significant challenges is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.3%, which is substantially higher than the state average. This attendance issue may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Additionally, Pinnacle Academy's spending per student of $7,963 is relatively low, which could limit the resources available to support student learning and school improvement initiatives.

Overall, the data suggests that Pinnacle Academy is a struggling school that needs to address several key areas, including academic performance, attendance, and resource allocation, in order to improve student outcomes and the school's overall standing within the state.
