Summary:

Pinnacle Academy is a public charter elementary school in Euclid, Ohio, serving 720 students in grades K-8. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 88.19% of students identifying as African American. Pinnacle Academy is part of the Pinnacle Academy District, which is ranked 563 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pinnacle Academy faces several key challenges. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 48.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Pinnacle Academy's performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below state averages across grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking relatively high, but low socioeconomic status students and students with disabilities ranking much lower. Interestingly, Pinnacle Academy's spending per student ($7,963) is lower than the nearby Lakeshore Intergenerational School ($8,210).

While Pinnacle Academy serves a predominantly African American student population, the nearby Lakeshore Intergenerational School has a similar racial composition, with 90.22% of students identifying as African American. However, Lakeshore Intergenerational School has a higher statewide ranking (993 out of 1676 schools) compared to Pinnacle Academy, suggesting potential differences in educational approaches and outcomes. Overall, the analysis of Pinnacle Academy indicates the need for a comprehensive review of its educational strategies, resource allocation, and student support systems to improve overall student outcomes and better serve the community.

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.

Open Quote This school has many problems, mostly because it is fun by a for profit company. Extra curricular programs are non existent and students do not leave being a well rounded person. The middle school is poorly organized. It is wild and there is a lack of discipline. Close Quote

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.
