Summary:
ZIP code 44483 in Warren, Ohio is served by exactly one middle school: Champion Middle School, part of the Champion Local district, which enrolls 366 students in grades 5 through 8.
With only one middle school in this ZIP code, there is no local school-to-school comparison to make — the useful comparison is against the district and against Ohio overall, and there the school looks strong. Champion Middle School ranked 114th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools in 2025–26, the 89th percentile with 4 stars, and has stayed in roughly the 88th–90th percentile across the three years shown (it earned 5 stars in 2023–24). Mathematics is the standout: averaged across grades, 82.5% of students were proficient in 2025–26 versus 54.0% statewide, and Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 100%, compared with 61.6% statewide. English Language Arts averaged 79.9% and improved year over year, with 8th grade rising from 74.7% to 84.0%. Every listed 2025–26 subject and grade result came in above the state average. Science is strong but more uneven — 5th grade was 85.4%, while 8th grade fell from 77.7% to 68.8%, still +7.6 points over the state and the smallest margin in the data.
For families, context matters too: 41.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio is 15.4, and chronic absenteeism is 19.6% — about one in five students, slightly better than the district's 20.6% but still worth monitoring. Per-student spending was reported at $10,167, though that figure comes from 2018–19 and is not current. Overall, this is a high-performing school with exceptional math results and relatively high poverty indicators.
