Best Middle Schools in Zip Code 44505


Summary:

The middle schools located in the 44505 zip code area of Ohio serve vastly different student populations and have markedly different academic outcomes. This analysis focuses on two schools in the area - East Middle at PRBerry and William S Guy Middle School.

East Middle at PRBerry has a predominantly minority student body, with over 80% of students being African American, Hispanic, or two or more races. The school's academic performance is extremely low, with proficiency rates well below the state and Youngstown City district averages. In contrast, William S Guy Middle School has a more balanced racial/ethnic makeup and generally better academic performance, though still lagging behind state and Liberty Local district averages.

The stark contrast in academic outcomes between the two schools suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and educational resources, play a significant role. The nearly 4-fold difference in per-student spending between the two schools may be one contributing factor. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate at East Middle at PRBerry should also be a top priority for improving student learning at this struggling school.
