Summary:
Youngstown Academy of Excellence is the sole elementary school located in the Youngstown Academy of Excellence district, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 255 students. The school is struggling academically, with student performance well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. This is reflected in the school's low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and its declining statewide ranking, which has dropped from 1270 out of 1596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1387 out of 1558 in 2024-2025.
A major concern is the school's very high chronic absenteeism rate of 70.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is likely a significant factor in the low academic performance. Despite adequate funding, with spending per student of $7,861 in the 2018-2019 school year, the resources do not appear to be effectively utilized. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratio of 21.2 in the 2023-2024 school year may contribute to the challenges in providing individualized attention and support to students.
Overall, the data suggests that Youngstown Academy of Excellence is one of the lower-performing elementary schools in the state and significant improvements are needed in order to better serve the students and community.
