Summary

Mines Elementary School in Warren, OH is a Howland Local school serving grades 3–4 with 327 students, part of a district ranked 232 of 773 in Ohio (70th percentile, 4 stars), while the school itself holds 3 stars and ranks 715 of 1,560 schools (54th percentile).

Attendance is Mines' clearest strength. Its chronic absenteeism rate was 15.2% in 2025–2026, down sharply from 24.2% the year before and well below the district's 23.8%. Same-district feeders Howland Springs Elementary School (25.6%) and Howland Glen Elementary School (18.4%) both had more absences. Mines also beats most nearby schools, including Willard Avenue Pk-8 School (36.3%), Lincoln Pk-8 School (35.0%), Summit Academy Community School-Warren (27.6%), Niles Intermediate School (23.3%), and STEAM Academy of Warren (38.4%). Only Mathews Elementary School (Intermediate) (10.3%) and Mathews Elementary School (Primary) (11.0%) were lower.

Academically, Mines scored above Ohio averages in all four tested areas in 2025–2026: 3rd-grade math 66.3%, 4th-grade math 68.8%, 3rd-grade ELA 69.7%, and 4th-grade ELA 65.0%. Still, the school's statewide rank has slipped from the 65th percentile (2023–2024) to the 54th, driven mainly by 4th grade — 4th-grade math fell from 83.3% in 2022–2023 to 68.8%, and 4th-grade ELA from 76.1% to 65.0% — while 3rd grade held steady or improved, with 3rd-grade ELA at its highest recent level. Some nearby schools, notably STEAM Academy and Mathews Intermediate, post higher proficiency in overlapping grades, though Mines outperforms Willard, Lincoln, and Summit. Results also vary by group: effectiveness rankings are stronger for female students and lower for male students, and Special Education fell from the 70th percentile to the 27th. Class sizes have grown, with the student–teacher ratio rising from 14.0 to 17.6.
