Summary:
Warren City is a five-school district in Ohio consisting of four elementary PK–8 schools and one high school, Warren G Harding High School, with no middle or alternative schools, serving 4,647 students in total — 3,426 of them (about 74%) in the PK–8 schools.
As a whole, Warren City ranks 622 of 773 schools, at the 20th percentile with 1 star. Individually, Jefferson Pk-8 School stands out most: it is the only school with a 2-star rating, has the highest elementary rank percentile at 33rd, improved steadily (21 → 28 → 33), and has the lowest student–teacher ratio at 15.6. McGuffey Pk-8 School posts the highest simple average proficiency among elementary schools in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, with 5th grade science at 55.6% and 7th grade math at 54.3%, above the state's 48.6%. Meanwhile, Lincoln Pk-8 School and Willard Avenue Pk-8 School sit at the 26th and 23rd percentiles respectively, with Willard declining across the three years shown.
Two patterns matter for families. First, middle-grade performance is weak everywhere: 8th grade math ranges from 18.2% to 35.6% across the PK–8 schools, far below the state's 52.0%. Second, Harding has a graduation–proficiency disconnect — a 92.9% graduation rate alongside low End-of-Course results (Algebra I 30.1%, Geometry 25.5%) and the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 58.3%, versus 35.0% to 41.9% at the elementary schools. Encouragingly, all five schools improved their simple average proficiency from 2024–25 to 2025–26, though most remain below state averages. Note that 100% Algebra I results at three PK–8 schools likely reflect small, selective cohorts.
