Summary

East High School is a public high school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving 575 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Youngstown City School District, which is ranked 703 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past decade, East High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools.

East High School faces significant challenges, including a low 4-year graduation rate ranging from 81.3% to 85.9%, well below the state average of around 90%. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 57.9% to 79.3% in recent years. Academically, East High School's proficiency rates on state tests are extremely low, with only 10.2% in Algebra I, 15.3% in English II, and 25.5% in Biology, all well below state averages. The school's performance for subgroups like African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Special Education students is also in the bottom 25-30% of Ohio high schools.

While the nearby Youngstown City School District schools also perform poorly overall, Youngstown Rayen Early College High School stands out as a relative bright spot, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio high schools and achieving much higher proficiency rates than East High School and the district average. Addressing the challenges at East High School will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses the school's unique socioeconomic and educational context, with a focus on evidence-based practices and collaboration with high-performing schools.
