Stambaugh Charter Academy

Summary:

Stambaugh Charter Academy is an elementary public charter school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade. With a predominantly African American and Hispanic student population, the school has faced significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas.

Despite some relative strengths in serving specific subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as special education students, Stambaugh Charter Academy has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates and a fluctuating student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its overall poor performance. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for substantial improvements to provide a high-quality education for all students.

Interestingly, Stambaugh Charter Academy has experienced a gradual decline in enrollment over the past few years, with a corresponding shift in the racial composition of its student body. While the school performs relatively better for African American and Hispanic students compared to the state, it struggles with low-socioeconomic status and disabled students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools for these subgroups. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's location in a low-income area of Youngstown may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote The school used to be a good one when it first opened but is now overrun by inner-city kids and staff. The principal is oblivious to what's going on around him, and the the teachers are just there for the money. If you have the opportunity to take your child elsewhere do so. By the way, and to reinforce what another parent wrote, the school has a big bullying problem and no one seems to care. There's no PTO, teachers don't communicate with parents, and every other week there's some kind of fund raiser. It's all about money. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
