Someone arguing for summer school could interpret the fact as follows:

Summer school has not had a negative impact on student achievement.

This interpretation acknowledges that while summer school may not have shown positive effects on student achievement, it also does not indicate that it harms students, leaving room for the argument that it could potentially be beneficial or that its effectiveness might be improved.
