Summary

Warner Middle School is a public middle school located in Xenia, Ohio, serving grades 6-9 with a student population of 791. The school is part of the Xenia Community City District, which is ranked 416 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key challenges facing Warner Middle School is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 34.9% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Baker Middle School (29.5%) and Spinning Hills Middle School (29.1%). Additionally, the school's student performance on state tests, particularly in mathematics, lags behind the state and district averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 37.7% to 51.7% across different grade levels. While the school stands out with 100% proficiency rates in Algebra I, its English Language Arts and science proficiency rates are also lower than the state and district averages.

Interestingly, the school's student group performance shows a stark contrast, with African American students performing better than their peers at the state level, while White students and multi-racial students perform significantly worse. Students with disabilities and gifted/talented students also struggle, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools. Addressing these disparities and the high chronic absenteeism rates should be a priority for the school. Comparing Warner Middle School to nearby high-performing schools like Bellbrook Middle School and Jacob Coy Middle School could provide valuable insights and models for improvement.
