Summary:
STEAM Academy of Warren is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the STEAM Academy of Warren district located in Warren, Ohio. This public charter school stands out for its strong performance in Science and early Mathematics, as well as its diverse student population, though it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and declining Mathematics proficiency in the upper grades.
STEAM Academy of Warren's students have demonstrated exceptional performance on the Ohio State Tests, particularly in Science and 3rd/4th grade Mathematics, significantly outpacing state averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency declines in the later elementary grades, with only 21.7% of 6th graders and 39.5% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024. The school's diverse student population, with a relatively even split between White and African American students, as well as a sizable percentage of multiracial students, could be a strength, but the school may need to ensure equitable opportunities for all learners.
Despite its academic strengths, STEAM Academy of Warren faces a significant challenge with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 50.7% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and could negatively impact student learning and achievement. The school's state-wide ranking has also fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 682 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,043 out of 1,588 in 2021-2022. Overall, STEAM Academy of Warren appears to be a school with both strengths and areas for improvement, requiring further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
