Summary

Mines Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warren, Ohio, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 330 students. It is part of the Howland Local School District, which is ranked 203 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mines Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3-4. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 65.4% of 3rd graders and 78.1% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 64.4% and 69.1%, respectively. Similarly, 67.5% of 3rd graders and 71% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 61.3% and 61.9%. The school also performs well across various student subgroups, such as female, male, white, and special education students.

However, Mines Elementary School faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 21.2% to 28.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 173 out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 621 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to this trend and implement strategies to improve the school's performance. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 40.91% to 48.18% in recent years, indicating a significant population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.
