About Acld School
ACLD School serves 61 students in grades 2-8 in Youngstown, Ohio, offering an intimate learning environment with a remarkably low 6.8:1 student-teacher ratio. This small middle school employs 9 full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for highly personalized attention that many larger schools cannot provide. The school has earned recognition with an 8.0 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating and ranks #262 out of 713 Ohio schools, placing it in the 63rd percentile statewide.
This strong performance is particularly noteworthy given the challenging socioeconomic conditions in the surrounding 44503 zip code, where the median household income is $10,850 and the poverty rate reaches 68.2%. With only 9% of neighborhood residents holding bachelor's degrees or higher, ACLD School serves a community where educational opportunities have been limited. The school's small size and exceptional staffing ratio create opportunities for teachers to work closely with each student, addressing individual learning needs and providing the support that can help break cycles of educational disadvantage.
Located on East Wood Street in this small city setting, ACLD School operates within a tight-knit community of just 960 residents, where the school likely plays a central role in neighborhood life and student development.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 61 students, Acld School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 6.8:1, Acld School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Acld School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
