Warren City

The Warren City school district in Ohio operates 6 schools, including 5 elementary/middle schools (grades PK-8) and 1 high school (grades 9-12). The district as a whole is ranked 619 out of 828 districts in Ohio and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. While the district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages, a few schools stand out as potential bright spots.

Lincoln Pk-8 School has the highest student population at 1,000 students and the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. McGuffey Pk-8 School also stands out, with the highest proficiency rates in several subject areas, including 5th grade science, 5th grade math, and Algebra I. Additionally, Jefferson Pk-8 School has strong performance in 5th grade science, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages across a range of academic measures. Chronic absenteeism rates are extremely high, over 45% at all schools, which is likely a major contributor to the district's poor academic outcomes. Understanding the practices and strategies at the higher-performing schools could provide valuable lessons for improving the district as a whole.
