Summary:
Horizon Science Academy Youngstown is a public charter school serving grades K-8 with 388 students. As the only school in the data set, it stands out as a unique educational option in the area, but its performance has been consistently below average compared to other Ohio elementary schools.
Horizon Science Academy Youngstown has struggled academically, with proficiency rates well below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 18.4% to 80%, compared to state averages of 47.6% to 69.1%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
While Horizon Science Academy Youngstown may have more flexibility as a public charter school, this does not seem to be translating into better outcomes for students. The school's low academic performance and high absenteeism rates suggest that addressing the root causes of these challenges should be a top priority for the school's leadership and the broader community.
