Elementary Schools in Horizon Science Academy Youngstown


Summary:

Horizon Science Academy Youngstown is the sole elementary school located in the Horizon Science Academy Youngstown district in Youngstown, Ohio. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students.

While Horizon Science Academy Youngstown boasts a racially diverse student body, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across subjects and grade levels, with only 25% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. Additionally, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 53.8%, which is much higher than the state average.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 and spends $7,995 per student. However, the lack of comparative data from other schools in the area makes it difficult to determine if these factors are contributing to the school's performance. To address these issues, the school and district leadership should prioritize improving student engagement, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, and implementing effective, culturally responsive teaching practices to drive better academic outcomes for all students.
