Summary

Youngstown Virtual Academy is a small public virtual high school serving grades 5-12 in the Youngstown City School District. Despite its virtual format, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with a statewide rank between 825-856 out of 855-867 high schools over the past 3 years and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Youngstown Virtual Academy faces significant challenges, including extremely low test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 28.6% across various subject areas, far below the Youngstown City and Ohio state averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 0% and 85.9% over the past 3 years, and it has struggled with extremely high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 45.1% to 84.5% over the same period. These issues are seen across student subgroups, with the school's rankings for female students and low socioeconomic status students also among the lowest in the state.

When compared to other high schools in the Youngstown City School District, such as Chaney High and Youngstown Rayen Early College High School, Youngstown Virtual Academy performs significantly worse across nearly all metrics. The school's virtual format, small size, and high concentration of disadvantaged students may be contributing to its struggles, and the district may need to reevaluate its virtual education model and provide more targeted interventions to support this and other struggling schools.
