Summary

Warren G Harding High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, typically between 660-718 out of 800-855 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state tests is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-54% across various subjects and grade levels, compared to the state averages of 40-73%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 85.8% and 94.6% over the past few years, which is below the state average and lower than many of the nearby high schools, such as Lakeview High School, McDonald High School, and Howland High School, which generally perform much better across various metrics.

A significant concern at Warren G Harding High School is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 45.9% to 58.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the surrounding schools. The school serves a student population with a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio high schools in this category. This likely contributes to the academic and attendance challenges faced by the school. Addressing these issues should be a top priority for the district to improve outcomes for all students.

What people are saying
by a student
Friday, May 25, 2012

Open Quote I graduated near the top of my class in 2010, and have to say that Warren City Schools does very well with what it is given. Most parents in Warren are below the poverty level, which feeds into their children's ideals and motivation levels. While the majority of students do not pass with flying colors, those who do are challenged on a level unlike many other local schools. Harding employs some of the finest teachers in the area, despite the negative outcome of test scores. Since the International Baccalaureate program is offered, the participating students are challenged on a worldwide basis, not just on school board curriculum terms. Please do not continue to look only at the negative aspects of the school and remember that with a decent home life, anyone can succeed. Close Quote
