Summary:
ZIP code 44484 in the Warren, Ohio area contains seven schools serving roughly 3,299 students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12, split among three providers: Howland Local with five schools (about 69% of enrollment), Warren City with one PK-8 building, and Summit Academy Community School-Warren, a K-7 charter. The unusual feature here is how finely the grade bands are divided: Howland spreads its elementary and middle grades across four buildings — Howland Glen Elementary School (K-2), Howland Springs Elementary School (grade 2 only), Mines Elementary School (grades 3-4) and Howland Middle School (grades 5-8).
The academic leaders are Howland's two secondary schools. Howland Middle School is the ZIP's strongest performer, sitting in the 81st percentile of schools and above the state on all 11 of its reported tests, with absenteeism of 20.6%. Howland High School graduates 96.5% of its students and beats the state on 5 of 6 end-of-course exams, but its 34.0% absenteeism is the highest in its district. Mines Elementary School is quietly consistent — above the state on every reported test over two years — with the ZIP's lowest absenteeism (15.2%) and highest per-student spending.
At the other end, Willard Avenue Pk-8 School is the largest school in the ZIP (898 students) yet reaches the state on only 2 of 15 tests, though it outperforms its own district on 7 of 15; its 36.3% absenteeism is the highest here. Summit Academy Community School-Warren, with 118 students, met the state on none of its reported tests and averages a 49-point gap, including 0% proficiency in fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade math. Howland Glen Elementary School and Howland Springs Elementary School have no state test data because they serve untested grades; Springs has the ZIP's highest free/reduced-lunch rate (51.15%) and absenteeism above its district rate. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for Willard or Summit.
