GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've gone to school at the Austintown Local School District my whole life. I actually watched the schools get built. But overall, it's a great school district regardless of what people say about it. Yes it can seem like crap from time to time but when you compare it to other schools in the area, Fitch looks like a private school in comparison.

It was an overall good experience and I believe that the main goal of the school was for kids to learn and understand what is being taught to them, while also making it a comfortable environment where kids can be themselves.

It's a good school but some of the administration are very rude and don't respect the students. If this school didn't have the toxic environment from them I would enjoy it more. The teachers are all very great, nice and respectful. The school prioritizes sports over anything though. The computers that they give us to use too are very slow.

The schools are all new with the exception of the high school. Beautiful new schools cannot make up for poor teacher and worker morale due to the mean spirited people.This nasty attitude then trickles down on the students because some teachers don't care to do their job. Oh and good luck if your chi...
