Youngstown Academy of Excellence

Summary:

Youngstown Academy of Excellence is a public charter elementary school serving approximately 240 students in grades K-8 in Youngstown, Ohio. Despite being in operation for over a decade, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Youngstown Academy of Excellence has had extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 54.2% to 89.9% over the past 5 school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is very low across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 5.6% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and math proficiency rates ranging from 13.3% to 33.3% across grades 3-8, well below the state averages. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students.

Youngstown Academy of Excellence's performance lags behind both nearby charter and traditional public schools in the area, such as Horizon Science Academy Youngstown, Campbell Elementary, and Youngstown Community School.

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.

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.
