STEAM Academy of Warren

STEAM Academy of Warren is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Warren, Ohio, a city in the northeastern part of the state. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and math, as well as its racially diverse student population, though it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism.

STEAM Academy of Warren has demonstrated significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average on Ohio state tests in science and math across multiple grade levels. The school's student population is nearly evenly split between White and African American students, with representation from Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and multiracial students as well. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 50.7% in the 2023-2024 school year is notably higher than the state average, an area that may require further investigation and intervention.

While STEAM Academy of Warren District is ranked 424 out of 839 districts in Ohio and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the school's own statewide ranking among elementary schools has fluctuated, from 1043 out of 1588 in 2021-2022 to 682 out of 1577 in 2023-2024, with a 3-star rating in the most recent year. This suggests the need to closely monitor and address any factors that may be contributing to these changes in performance.
