Summary:
Youngstown Academy of Excellence is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Youngstown, Ohio. Based on the available data, this school is a low-performing institution, ranking in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools and struggling with significantly below-average student test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.
The school has seen a declining rank over the past three school years, going from 1270 out of 1596 schools in 2022-2023 to 1387 out of 1558 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Youngstown Academy of Excellence faces significant challenges, including an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 70.5% and student performance that is well below the state average. For example, in 8th grade math, only 7.7% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 47.6%.
Despite adequate funding, with spending per student of $7,861 in the 2018-2019 school year, and a relatively manageable student-teacher ratio of 21.2, the school appears to be struggling to translate its resources into strong academic outcomes for its 255 students. Significant improvements will be needed in areas like attendance, instructional quality, and resource allocation to drive better performance at Youngstown Academy of Excellence.
