Summary

Mahoning County High School is a public charter high school located in Youngstown, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 108 students. Despite being part of the Mahoning County High School District, which is ranked 696 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school itself faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Mahoning County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with its four-year graduation rate ranging from a high of 77.1% in 2021-2022 to a low of 50.7% in 2023-2024, well below the state average. The school has also experienced extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 86.8% in 2020-2021, more than double the state average. Academically, Mahoning County High School has consistently underperformed the state average on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 18.8% in Algebra I to 51.9% in American Government in 2024-2025.

When comparing Mahoning County High School to nearby schools, such as Northeast Ohio Impact Academy, Struthers High School, and Youngstown Rayen Early College High School, the performance gap is stark. These nearby schools, while not all top-performing, generally outpace Mahoning County High School across key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the school is facing significant challenges that require comprehensive intervention and support to address the root causes of its underperformance.
