Youtz Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Youtz Intermediate School is a public middle school in Canton, Ohio, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 296. The school is part of the Canton City School District, which is ranked 610 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Youtz Intermediate School has faced significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 31.9% to 43.0% over the past few years, far exceeding the state average of around 14%. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on Ohio State Tests, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.3% of 5th-grade students at Youtz Intermediate were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4% and the Canton City average of 31.9%. In contrast, nearby schools like North Canton Middle School and STEAMM Academy generally perform much better academically, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50% or even 70% in various subjects.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $10,576 in the 2018-2019 school year, the data suggests that Youtz Intermediate School is facing significant challenges in providing effective instruction and support to its students. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving academic performance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its community.
