Summary:
Zip code 44509 in Youngstown, Ohio contains exactly one public high school — Chaney High, serving grades 9–12 with 536 students — so families in this area effectively have a single district option rather than a choice among schools. It is part of the Youngstown City district, and because there is only one school, the most useful comparisons are Chaney against its own district, against Ohio, and against its own two-year trend.
Chaney's profile splits sharply between completion and achievement. The graduation rate is 89.7%, only 1.0 point below the district's 90.7%. Yet average proficiency across six End-of-Course subjects is 30.3%, versus 35.8% for the district and 63.2% statewide. Geometry is the sharpest outlier at just 5.4% proficient (district 19.4%, state 43.3%), followed by English II at 25.0% and Algebra I at 25.5%. American History is the one subject where Chaney outperforms its own district, 44.0% to 40.4%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 68.0% — more than two-thirds of students — which is 11.3 points worse than the district's 56.7%.
Trends are mixed and mostly slightly negative. Chaney improved in American History (+3.8 points) and English II (+2.9), but fell in the other four subjects, including a 6.2-point drop in American Government, leaving the all-subject average down 2.0 points while the district and state edged upward. Its posted rank rose from 778 to 743, but the ranked pool shrank from 864 to 795 schools, so its percentile fell from 10 to 7 and its star rating from 1 to 0. The clearest targets for attention are Geometry, English II, and attendance. Note that the free/reduced-lunch figure is blank (unknown, not zero), and the $12,140 per-student spending figure dates to 2018-2019.
