Summary

Warder Park-Wayne Elementary School is a K–6 school in Springfield, OH, serving 425 students as part of the Springfield City School District. The district ranks 704th of 773 Ohio districts (9th percentile, 0 stars), placing the school in a low-performing district context. In 2025–26, Warder Park-Wayne ranked 1380th of 1560 statewide (12th percentile, 1 star). Its rank history shows a long-term decline: it was in the 25th–29th percentile from 2015–16 through 2017–18, fell to 19th percentile in 2018–19 and 18th in 2020–21, then dropped to 11th–13th percentile from 2021–22 through 2025–26.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 35.6% in 2025–26, slightly above the district’s 34.7% and the highest among nearby traditional same-district schools. For comparison, Snowhill Elementary School is at 18.6%, Lagonda Elementary School at 22.6%, and Perrin Woods Elementary School at 28.2%. Science and 5th grade math are severe weaknesses. Science proficiency is 15.9%, far below the district (29.3%) and state (62.7%); among nearby same-district schools only Fulton Elementary School (6.7%) is lower. Fifth grade math is 9.1% proficient, below the district (20.4%) and state (59.1%). ELA is low but not always lowest: 3rd grade 34.5%, 4th grade 38.0%, 5th grade 36.4%, 6th grade 26.7%. Snowhill, Kenton Elementary School, and Lagonda generally outperform it in most grades.

Subgroup data show particular weakness for students with disabilities (4th percentile), with low-income students at 12th percentile and female and male students at 10th percentile—all bottom-decile results. Resources do not appear to be the main differentiator: the 2024–25 student–teacher ratio (15.1) and 2018–19 per-student spending ($9,687) are similar to nearby schools. Isolated bright spots include 3rd grade math at 47.3% in 2025–26 (above the district’s 36.2% but below the state’s 62.1%) and 6th grade math at 20.0% (slightly above the district’s 19.4%), but these are not stable trends. Warder Park-Wayne is not the lowest in the district—Lincoln Elementary School and Fulton rank at the 4th percentile—but it remains near the bottom statewide. Snowhill Elementary School, with similar enrollment (420 students), shows substantially better outcomes within the same district, suggesting improvement is possible, though the data do not explain why.
