Summary:
The Warren City school district in Ohio consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary/middle schools (PK-8) and 1 high school. While the district as a whole struggles academically, with proficiency rates typically 20-30 percentage points below the state average, two schools stand out as relatively higher-performing: Lincoln Pk-8 School and Willard Avenue Pk-8 School.
These two schools perform better than the district and state on many state tests, particularly in math and English language arts. They also have impressive proficiency rates on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, far exceeding the district and state averages. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism ranging from 41.7% to 58.9%, which likely contribute to the overall academic struggles.
The data also reveals concerning racial disparities in student performance, with large gaps between White and African American students. Addressing these equity issues and learning from the practices of the higher-performing schools within the district could be important next steps for improving education in Warren City.
