Summary:
The Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown, the sole high school in the Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown district, serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 243 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio high schools over the past three years, indicating a persistent struggle to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly African American (72.02%) student population.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on Ohio state tests ranging from just 3.7% in Geometry to 22.2% in American History, far below the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 61.8% is significantly lower than the state average. These concerning statistics suggest that the school is not adequately supporting its students' academic and personal growth.
The high student-teacher ratio of 40.5 at the Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown may contribute to the school's challenges, as it could limit the individual attention and support students receive. Furthermore, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational experience at the Academy for Urban Scholars Youngstown, and further investigation into the school's resources, teaching practices, and support systems may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and better serve its student population.
