East High School

Summary:

East High School is a public high school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving 571 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Youngstown City School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a diverse student population, consistently low academic performance, and high rates of chronic absenteeism.

East High School has a notably diverse student body, with 52.71% African American, 32.05% Hispanic, and only 8.06% White students. This racial composition is quite different from the nearby Choffin Career Center, which has a higher percentage of White students. Academically, East High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates ranging from just 4% in Geometry to 34% in American History, well below state and district averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 79.6% and 84.7% over the past five years, also lower than state and district averages.

A concerning trend at East High School is the high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 47.8% to 86.5% over the past five years, significantly higher than state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 20.1 is higher than the state average and the nearby Choffin Career Center, which has a much lower ratio of 2 students per teacher. These challenges suggest a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to the persistent low performance and engagement issues.

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.
