Summary

Chaney High is a 9–12 school at 731 S Hazelwood Ave in Youngstown, Ohio, enrolling 536 students as part of the Youngstown City school district.

Academically, Chaney ranks near the bottom of Ohio high schools — 743rd of 795 in 2025–2026, the 7th percentile, with 0 stars. That is in line with its district, which ranks 709th of 773 (8th percentile). In 2025–2026, proficiency was 44.8% in American Government, 44% in American History, 37.3% in Biology, 25% in English II, 25.5% in Algebra I, and just 5.4% in Geometry. American History is Chaney's strongest relative subject, above the district (40.4%) and East High School (40.8%), though still below the state (73.2%). Geometry is the clearest crisis: 5.4% is below the district (19.4%), the state (43.3%), and every nearby comparison except Youngstown Virtual Academy (5.3%), and far below McDonald High School (48.9%), Fitch High School (57.5%), and Youngstown Rayen Early College High School (65.8%). Rayen, in the same district, ranks at the 71st percentile — a striking in-district gap.

Chaney's graduation rate of 89.7% is a relative strength: above East High School (87.5%) and near the district's 90.7%, though below Liberty High School (94.9%), McDonald (96.8%), Fitch (97.3%), and Rayen (98.4%). Chronic absenteeism, however, is 68.0% — above the district (56.7%) and far above Rayen (18.5%), McDonald (21.9%), and Fitch (27.5%). Subgroup performance is uniformly low, with no group above the state median. Chaney's student-teacher ratio (16.7) is lower than East's (22.6) and Fitch's (18.3), and its per-student spending ($12,140 in 2018–2019) exceeds McDonald's and Fitch's, so resources alone do not explain the outcomes. The school has improved since earlier years, but Geometry, English II, and absenteeism remain the most urgent priorities.
