SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 795 Ohio High Schools

Better than 8% of Ohio high schools

Summary

East High School is a grades 9–12 comprehensive high school serving 612 students at 474 Bennington Ave in Youngstown, Ohio, as part of the Youngstown City School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 735th of 795 Ohio high schools (8th percentile, 0 stars), continuing a five-year pattern in the bottom decile of the state. Its graduation rate has improved from 79.6% in 2022–2023 to 87.5% in 2025–2026, though it remains below the district's 90.7%. The most urgent concern is attendance: 76.6% of students are chronically absent, compared with 56.7% district-wide.

State test proficiency is low across most subjects in 2025–2026. American Government is 57.3% (above the district's 50.2%) and American History is 40.8% (about even with the district), but Algebra I is 17.7%, Geometry 10.5%, Biology 20.9%, and English II 24.6% — all well below both district and state. The most striking comparison is with Youngstown Rayen Early College High School, 1.4 miles away in the same district: it ranks 227th of 795 (71st percentile, 4 stars), with a 98.4% graduation rate, 18.5% chronic absenteeism, and proficiency at or above state levels in many subjects. East also trails Hubbard High School and Struthers High School, but outperforms Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown, Summit Academy Secondary - Youngstown, and Mahoning Valley Community School on several measures. East's student-teacher ratio of 22.6 in 2024–2025 is high compared with most nearby traditional high schools and rose from 18.5 the prior year.

Encouraging signs include the improving graduation rate, relatively stronger social studies results, and a sharp gain for Special Education students, whose subgroup rank moved from the 1st percentile in the two prior years to the 25th percentile in 2025–2026. Most other subgroups still rank in the bottom quartile or bottom decile. Free/reduced-price lunch data for East is not available, and per-student spending figures date to 2018–2019 ($12,240).
