Summary

Paul C Bunn Elementary School is a K–5 school in Youngstown, OH serving 311 students in the Youngstown City district, where it is a relative bright spot but still ranks near the bottom statewide. In 2025–2026, it beat district averages in most tested areas but remained below Ohio averages in every reported subject and grade. Its strongest results are in 3rd and 4th grade math and ELA; 5th grade is a clear weak point, with 5th math at 20.0% versus 59.1% statewide, 5th ELA at 28.6% versus 70.4%, and 5th science at 21.4% versus 62.7%. It generally outperforms same-district Taft Elementary School and Youngstown Academy of Excellence, but trails West Boulevard Elementary School, Stadium Drive Elementary School, Mckinley Elementary School, Robinwood Lane Elementary School, and Horizon Science Academy Youngstown.

Chronic absenteeism has improved from 69.1% in 2021–2022 to 49.9% in 2025–2026 and remains below the Youngstown City district rate, but about half of students are still chronically absent. That is much higher than nearby Boardman Local schools such as West Boulevard Elementary School at 17.1%, Stadium Drive Elementary School at 11.0%, and Robinwood Lane Elementary School at 20.3%, as well as Mckinley Elementary School at 7.2%, Struthers Elementary School at 24.5%, and Youngstown Community School at 22.4%. Resources look relatively favorable: the student-teacher ratio was 12.4 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending was $13,193 in 2018–2019, both better than many nearby schools. Yet Horizon Science Academy Youngstown outperforms it academically with larger classes and lower spending.

The school has shown it can produce strong results: in 2023–2024, 3rd grade ELA reached 65.5%, above Ohio’s 64.5%, and 4th grade math reached 76.3%, above Ohio’s 67.2%. The challenge is sustaining that performance across grades and years, especially in 5th grade and among chronically absent students. Some groups, including special education students, rank lower relative to statewide peers, which may point to places for targeted support. Families should weigh Paul C Bunn’s relative strength within its district against its below-state academics, high absenteeism, and nearby alternatives with stronger results.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Saturday, June 18, 2011

Test scores are not high in this school because of the socioeconomic background of the students. Schooldigger needs to look at more than just test scores when ranking schools. In 2009, PC Bunn was the recipient of an EEET grant that allowed the school to purchase state-of-the-art Promethean interactive whiteboards. To the credit of the Principal and staff, all the teachers participated in training and actually used the whiteboards in their classrooms. This is not always the case in schools. But at PC Bunn, the staff embraced the technology and is using it to enhance the students' learning. The atmosphere at the school is warm and inviting and there are too many extra programs than I have time or space to describe here. I wouldn't hesitate to enroll my children in this school.
