Summary:
ZIP code 44514 is home to four schools serving roughly 2,011 students across two districts: three schools in Poland Local (about 85% of enrollment) and one in Youngstown City. The grade spans cover the full K–12 range: Mckinley Elementary School (K–3, 547 students), Poland Middle School (4–6, 380), Poland Seminary High School (7–12, 773), and Paul C Bunn Elementary School (K–5, 311).
Academically, the Poland Local schools are the standouts. Poland Middle posted 2025–2026 proficiency of 92.7% in 5th grade math and 90.6% in 4th grade math, both far above state averages, and it did so with a reported free/reduced lunch rate of 56.05% — the only such figure reported among the elementary and middle schools. Mckinley Elementary reports solid results as well (78.5% in 3rd grade math, 77.9% in 3rd grade ELA) and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 7.2%, versus the district's 15.1%; Poland Middle sits at 10.9%. Paul C Bunn is the contrast: 49.9% chronic absenteeism, only 20.0% proficiency in 5th grade math and 28.6% in 5th grade ELA, and a 1-star, 19th percentile rank — despite the highest per-student spending ($13,193) and lowest student-teacher ratio (12.4) in the group.
Poland Seminary High has a split profile: a 99.1% graduation rate and strong results in Algebra I (88.0%) and American History (86.0%), but American Government proficiency of just 59.3% and chronic absenteeism of 22.8%, above the district average. Its rank slipped from the 86th percentile to the 65th. Parents should also note declines in 6th grade at Poland Middle and in American Government at the high school, and that free/reduced lunch data is not reported for Mckinley or Paul C Bunn.
