Youngstown Preschool

Public Prekindergarten Grades PK

Summary

Kirkmere School is an elementary school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Youngstown City School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently ranking 1385 out of 1577 Ohio elementary schools with a 1-star rating.

Kirkmere School has a significantly higher percentage of African American (47.53%) and Hispanic (22.08%) students compared to the state average, which is an important aspect of the school's diverse student population. However, the school has experienced concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates reaching 62.5% in 2021-2022 and 55.4% in 2022-2023, which are significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Kirkmere School's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are consistently lower than the Youngstown City and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups.

While Kirkmere School faces significant challenges, the school's diversity and the presence of nearby schools, such as Taft Elementary School and Volney Rogers School, which have slightly better performance, indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community.
