Summary:
Austintown Local Schools is a four-school Ohio district serving about 4,112 students across a PK–2 elementary, a 3–5 intermediate, a 6–8 middle school, and a 9–12 high school, and it ranks 209 of 773 districts statewide — the 73rd percentile, with 4 stars. Enrollment leans slightly secondary-heavy: grades 6–12 account for about 54% of students, while PK–5 accounts for about 46%.
Austintown Intermediate School has the strongest current academic profile in the district: 83rd percentile (263 of 1,560 schools) with 4 stars, and a 2025–26 average proficiency of about 81.2% across seven reported tests versus roughly 63.8% statewide — a gap of about 17.3 points. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 17.3%, even though it has the highest student-teacher ratio (20.3) and the lowest 2018–19 per-student spending ($7,758); that pattern is interesting but the spending data is dated and does not prove cause. Austintown Middle School is the clearest improver, climbing from the 60th to the 72nd percentile over three years and reaching 4 stars, with strong math gains and Algebra I at 100% proficiency — likely an advanced group, but still notable.
Fitch High School improved from the 49th to the 61st percentile, above the state in all six reported End-of-Course subjects, and posts a strong 97.3% graduation rate — but its 61st percentile still trails the district, and its 27.5% chronic absenteeism is the district's highest. Austintown Elementary School has no current state test scores and a lower 18.5% absenteeism rate. Absenteeism rises with grade level across the district, and free/reduced lunch data is unknown for every school.
