STEAM Academy of Warren

Summary:

STEAM Academy of Warren is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Warren, Ohio, with a diverse student population of around 40% White, 40% African American, 6-8% Hispanic, and 13-16% two or more races.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12-16 students per teacher, STEAM Academy has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years and receiving low 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school has particularly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 50-79% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. While the school has some bright spots, such as strong 5th and 8th grade science proficiency rates, its overall math and English language arts proficiency rates lag behind state averages across most grade levels. Interestingly, the school's African American and low-income students perform relatively well compared to their peers at the school, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio schools for those subgroups, but the school struggles to support its White and female students.

Compared to nearby district schools like Howland Glen Elementary and Niles Intermediate, STEAM Academy generally underperforms on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates, despite its lower student-teacher ratio. The school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger has also steadily declined over the past decade, from the bottom 10% of Ohio schools to the bottom 25%. Addressing these challenges will be critical for STEAM Academy to improve its standing and better serve its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Unlike Warren City Schools, you can positively and effectively communicate with teachers/staff/principals. They care about whatever you care about. My child had severe allergies while enrolled in WSC. We have not experienced breathing or allergy issues during the years of attending STEAM. They do not allow bullying. They help with incidents on the bus and very big on safety no matter where the child is. Their learning is MORE ADVANCED. As a parent, I am so very happy for STEAM to be a choice in our area. The alternative would have been home schooling, which would have been my family's choice if STEAM Academy did not exist. Thank you! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
