Chaney High

Summary:

Chaney High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Youngstown, Ohio, with a student population of 573 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant academic and attendance challenges, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking.

Chaney High has a notably diverse student population, with a significantly higher percentage of African American (60.03%) and Hispanic (19.72%) students compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance is consistently poor, with test scores significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 78.4% to 90.3%, still lower than the state average. Additionally, Chaney High has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 37.3% in 2019-2020 to 75.5% in 2021-2022.

While Chaney High has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the nearby Choffin Career Center in the Youngstown City district has an even smaller student population (27 students) and a much lower student-teacher ratio (2:1). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively higher for African American and Hispanic students compared to other subgroups. Overall, Chaney High's diverse student population and available resources suggest that there may be opportunities for targeted interventions and strategic resource allocation to address the school's academic and attendance 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.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Chaney High

The coronavirus has had a profound impact on education in America. Learning shifted online overnight, attendance numbers dwindled, and enrollment decreased.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
