Warren Elementary School

Summary:

Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-3 in Warren, Arkansas, with 388 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.7. The school is part of the Warren School District, which is ranked 177 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Warren School District, Warren Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 16.5% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 33.8% and 36.4% respectively. The school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of Arkansas elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 429 out of 497 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 15% of elementary schools in the state. Additionally, 100% of students at Warren Elementary receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby Thomas C. Brunson Elementary School, which serves grades 4-5 and is also part of the Warren School District, outperforms Warren Elementary across most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests that the academic challenges faced by Warren Elementary may be specific to the lower grades. Furthermore, the lower per-student spending at Warren Elementary ($9,525) compared to nearby schools like Monticello Elementary School ($11,392 per student) and Hermitage Elementary School ($12,495 per student) may be a contributing factor to its underperformance, highlighting the need for equitable funding and resource allocation.

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.
