Compared to nearby middle schools, Poland Middle School outperforms many of them in academic achievement, particularly those in the Youngstown City school district, which struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism. For example, Rayen Early College Middle School, which is only 5 miles away, has significantly lower proficiency rates across all subject areas compared to Poland Middle School. The school's high spending per student, at $9,237, and its consistent high performance over the past decade suggest that it has effective teaching practices, curriculum, and support systems in place to ensure student success.
