How Youngstown Academy of Excellence compares with Ohio and U.S. medians
What stands out at Youngstown Academy of Excellence
Youngstown Academy of Excellence is a mid-sized charter elementary school in Youngstown, Ohio, enrolling 243 students.
Class loads run heavy: 27:1 is larger than about 94% of Ohio schools and 48% above the 18.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Enrollment of 243 puts it in the smaller third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 3,574 Ohio schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Its student body is led by African American (48%) and Hispanic or Latino (36%), more mixed than most schools in the state (diversity index 63/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 72.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 41.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Youngstown's elementary schools, it stands alongside Austintown Intermediate School (895 students): Youngstown Academy of Excellence is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (27:1 vs 19:1).
Youngstown Academy of Excellence is a single-school charter district, so Youngstown Academy of Excellence operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
