Southside Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Southside Academy school district, located in Youngstown, OH with about 147 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, Southside Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
