Mahoning County High School

Summary:

Mahoning County High School is a public charter high school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 122 students. The school is part of the Youngstown City district, which is ranked 831 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mahoning County High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (70.49%) and a statewide ranking in the bottom 10% of Ohio high schools. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a low of 50.7% to a high of 77.1%, well below the state average. Additionally, the school has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching as high as 86.8% in the 2020-2021 school year, more than double the state average. Academically, the school's performance is significantly below the state average across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 8.3%.

In comparison, the nearby Choffin Career Center serves a similar demographic of students but has a much smaller enrollment of 27 students and a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 2:1, compared to Mahoning County High School's 8.7:1. These factors, combined with the school's low rankings and high rates of poverty, suggest that Mahoning County High School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students and addressing the complex needs of the community it serves.

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.
