Summary:
The Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown district in Ohio. With a total enrollment of 316 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past 3 school years, indicating significant academic challenges for its students.
The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year was just 56.3%, well below the state average. Additionally, the school had an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 48.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is likely a contributing factor to the low graduation rates. Proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are consistently well below state averages across all subject areas, with the school's students struggling particularly in subjects like American Government, Biology, and Algebra I.

With a very high student-teacher ratio of 45.1 to 1, the school may be struggling to offer the individualized attention and support needed to help students succeed. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's poor performance and implement effective interventions to support student achievement.
