Elementary Schools in Youngstown City

Summary:

The Youngstown City school district in Ohio is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals a range of academic performance across the district.

Two schools stand out as top performers - Paul C Bunn Elementary School and Volney Rogers School. Both schools consistently outperform the Youngstown City and Ohio state averages on standardized tests, with over 55% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the district average of around 38%. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios.

In contrast, other Youngstown City elementary schools like Harding Elementary School, M L King Elementary School, and Taft Elementary School struggle to meet state and district academic standards. Addressing the district's high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 57.9% to 57.9%, will be crucial to improving student outcomes across all Youngstown City elementary schools.
