Summary

Rayen Early College Middle School is a Youngstown City public school serving 370 students in grades 5–8 at 58 Williamson Ave in Youngstown, Ohio. Its district ranks 709 of 773 Ohio districts (8th percentile, 0 stars), yet Rayen ranked 541 of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26 — the 48th percentile, with 2 stars, and its best result in recent years (up from 32nd percentile in 2021–22). Chronic absenteeism was 32.1% in 2025–26, down from 40.2% in 2021–22 and far below the district's 56.7%.

Within Youngstown City, Rayen stands far above its peers: East Middle at PRBerry ranked 1,033 of 1,046, and Chaney Middle ranked 1,023, both with chronic absenteeism above 72%. Rayen's 8th grade math proficiency (58.3%) and ELA (64.9%) far exceed district averages (20.9% and 28.3%), and its Algebra I proficiency was 100%, versus 32.0% for the district and 61.6% statewide. Against nearby suburbs, Rayen is mid-pack: Hubbard Middle School, Boardman Glenwood Junior High, and Austintown Middle School generally post higher proficiency and lower absenteeism, while Rayen outranks Struthers Middle School. Grades 5 and 6 math are weaker — 41.1% and 33.0%, below the state's 59.1% and 56.2%.

Attendance and staffing are the trade-offs. Rayen's 32.1% chronic absenteeism is about even with Struthers (32.2%) but higher than every other nearby suburban school, including Poland Middle School at 10.9%. Its student-teacher ratio rose to 18.5 in 2024–25 from 12.8 in 2022–23, higher than most neighbors. Students from low-income families rank above the school's overall average (62nd percentile, 3 stars), while gifted and talented students rank in the 8th percentile with 0 stars — a clear gap for high-achieving students. Overall, Rayen is the strongest middle-grade option in Youngstown City in this comparison set and is improving, but it is not yet matching the top suburban districts.
