I was reading these reviews and can't believe Stambaugh is that bad. I am now 72 yrs. old and was a student at Stambaugh Academy when it was still called Stambaugh School and everyone in the Mahoning Valley thought Stambaugh was one of the best schools in Youngstown "if not the best". A little reminder to those who can remember. A Principal Named Mr. Heller, A teacher named Mr Moore, Miss Christy, Mr. Momonis. A graduation song composed by Students "Cross over the Hill" (referring to the Hill on Hazelwood Av. we would have climb to get to the High School, the old Chaney High ) A few words from the song (music from Patty page's cross over the bridge ) "We are about to leave you and we'll miss you very much. we would like to stay here with you, but they won't hear of of the such. Cross over the hill ...Cross over the Hill. That's all I can remember. I guess I'm trying to say I did and still Love that School and don't like hearing people putting it down. Earl Frank Watson Student of Stambaugh School 1946 to 1953

The school used to be a good one when it first opened but is now overrun by inner-city kids and staff. The principal is oblivious to what's going on around him, and the the teachers are just there for the money. If you have the opportunity to take your child elsewhere do so. By the way, and to reinforce what another parent wrote, the school has a big bullying problem and no one seems to care. There's no PTO, teachers don't communicate with parents, and every other week there's some kind of fund raiser. It's all about money.

I love this school. This is the best school ever! This is perfect for children that want to go above and beyond. Every parent should want their to go to this school because it's great. I this this because i an a Stambaugh Charter Academy student and i'm proud to be there.

This school is a joke and if u send your child here you will regret everyday of it... The teachers call about a childs shirt being untucked instead of calling you when your child is failing!!!!!Serious problem!!! Not to mention they pass the children to the next grade level when the childs report card shows they have failed all D's and F's WHO DOES THAT???? So much for and education the middle school children are so unruly i have witness the cops there on more than one occasion.. I had 4 children that attended and now none of them will be going back!!!

This school is terrible!!!! The 8th graders beat up the younger students and there is nothing done about it. My daughter has been bullied by the same girl for the past 3 years and the school will not remove this other child. The principal was beaten up by an 8th grader!!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

I have 4 girls that go too this school and not only do i love it they love it too .My 1 daughter has alwways struggled in school until i brought them to Stambaugh . The first year you had seen some progress in her grades and her academics ..She was finally excited in doing her work .. The 2nd year she finally got her first A.. So we had too celebrate ...Its only been 5 years too see her get this excited .. Not only that but the teachers her are fantasic . They will even stop what they are doing too help her and to make sure she understands what they are learning .. My children have learned so much more since i have brought them ntoo this school and took them outta Youngstown City ..

As an former employee and parent this school seems to be very good but is not. I would never send my child back to this school ever. The kids are very un-discliplined and no one can control them. The teachers are somewhat ok. But academically they dont have anything to offer, and socilally its very bad!! take my advice!!

My son has attended this school 2 years in a row. I love the teachers and staff, they are great. I will continue to send him here and recommend this school for other parents to consider. Keep up the great work !!!! Stambaugh Academy.

I would like to tell everyone how nice it is here. There is so much parent involvement then i've seen in other school. The teacher are here to help your child with what they need help with. When you want to come in to sit in on her son or daughter class you could. With there beening the first year here there is a lot of thing the students got to do like have a haverst fest. We are going to have a spring festival. The music and gym class are nice. I am glad that my daughter here and not some where else. Since she has been here she has improved so much then she did at her other school.

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
