District-Level NCES Analysis

Youngstown City operates 15 public schools serving 4,639 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Ohio. The school portfolio breaks down into 7 other, 4 high, 2 elementary, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 4,330 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Mahoning County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $34,449 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 17.8% local, 38.7% state, and 43.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $102,386 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 64/100, ranked #124 of 822 in Ohio against a state average of 46 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 15 schools offering Advanced Placement (6 AP courses district-wide), a 211.6:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 74.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 48.7% African American, 25.7% Hispanic or Latino, 14.2% White across the district's schools.

Youngstown City student-counselor ratio is 212:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Youngstown City chronic absenteeism rate is 74.6% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
