Summary:
Youngstown Community School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Youngstown area, with 368 students enrolled. The school has consistently struggled to provide a quality education, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio elementary schools for the past three years and performing significantly below state averages on standardized tests.
Youngstown Community School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.7%, indicating that a large portion of students are missing substantial instructional time. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 and per-student spending of $8,688, the school is struggling to translate its resources into improved academic outcomes for students.
Given the consistently low performance and high chronic absenteeism, Youngstown Community School should be a priority for intervention and support from the district and state education authorities. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's challenges will be crucial to improving outcomes for the students it serves.
