Summary

Jefferson Pk-8 School is a public elementary school serving 764 students in grades PK-8 in Warren, Ohio, which is part of the Warren City School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key issues at Jefferson Pk-8 School is its very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 45.3% to 47.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are also consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Math, where proficiency rates range from just 6.7% to 60.7% compared to the state averages of 47.6% to 69.1%. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with low rankings for subgroups like African American, White, and Multi-racial students, as well as students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, the other public schools in the Warren City School District, such as McGuffey Pk-8, Lincoln Pk-8, and Willard Avenue Pk-8, also perform poorly and have similar low rankings and test scores. In contrast, the nearby Lordstown Elementary School, which is in a different district (Lordstown Local), performs significantly better, with test scores well above the state averages and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
