Summary:
Warsaw, Ohio has three schools — two elementaries and one high school — all part of the River View Local district, serving prekindergarten through 12th grade with roughly 1,545 students in total. River View Elementary School covers PK–2, River View Intermediate School covers grades 3–6, and River View High School covers grades 6–12, so grade 6 appears at two schools. About 65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, meaning all three serve a high-poverty community. The district ranks 425 of 773 in Ohio, or the 45th percentile, with 2 stars.
River View High School posts the area's strongest outcome — a 95.6% graduation rate — and its 2025–26 test average of 62.5 beats the state's 60.2, with 8 of 11 tests above state. Highlights include 8th grade science (74.7 vs. 61.2) and Algebra I (69.3 vs. 61.6), but 7th grade math (33.3 vs. 48.6) and Geometry (39.7 vs. 43.3) lag, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6% is the highest of the three and above the district's 17.2%. River View Intermediate School shows the opposite pattern: math is a strength (4th grade 77.4 vs. 67.3; 6th grade 65.2 vs. 56.2) while ELA lags (4th grade 48.7 vs. 61.8; 6th grade 49.1 vs. 56.0). It has the lowest absenteeism at 13.6% but the largest classes (student-teacher ratio 22.0), and its state rank slipped from the 60th percentile to the 46th over two years.
River View Elementary School has the most resources — the highest per-student spending ($9,339) and the smallest classes (student-teacher ratio 15.9) — and its older rankings were stronger (77th percentile, 4 stars in 2021–22), but because it serves PK–2 there are no state test scores to judge current academics. Test results across the district swing widely from year to year, so single-year numbers should be read with caution.
