Both schools have consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with Austintown Intermediate particularly standing out for its exceptional academic performance.
Austintown Intermediate School's students significantly outperform state averages on Ohio state tests across all grade levels and subjects, with proficiency rates often 15-20 percentage points higher.

While the schools serve a majority white student population, there is still significant racial and ethnic diversity, with sizable African American and Hispanic student populations. However, the high free/reduced lunch rates and chronic absenteeism indicate potential socioeconomic challenges facing the student populations, which the Austintown Local Schools district may need to address through targeted support and interventions. Overall, the data suggests that the Austintown elementary schools are providing a quality education for their diverse student bodies, despite facing some resource challenges.
