Summary:
Mahoning County High School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Youngstown, Ohio area. With a total enrollment of 122 students, the school has a majority African American student population (70.49%) and struggles with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a below-average graduation rate.
Academically, Mahoning County High School ranks 859 out of 864 Ohio high schools, with only 4.2% of students proficient or better in American Government compared to the state average of 69.1%. The school's four-year graduation rate is just 50.7%, well below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is an alarming 75.9%.
These challenges suggest that Mahoning County High School requires significant interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, implementing evidence-based instructional strategies, and providing targeted professional development for teachers could be crucial steps in helping the school better serve its predominantly African American student population and close persistent achievement gaps.
