While Allen J Warren outperforms the School Town of Highland district, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools, such as Judith Morton Johnston Elementary and Mildred Merkley Elementary, have similar or even higher proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Allen J Warren has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.69% in 2022-2023), which is higher than the nearby Judith Morton Johnston Elementary (53.57%) and Mildred Merkley Elementary (46.79%) schools, suggesting that the school is serving a more economically disadvantaged population. The school's increased investment in resources and staffing, with per-student spending rising from $8,660 in 2018-2019 to $10,023 in 2021-2022, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.2 to 18.2 over the past three school years, may have contributed to the improvements in academic performance and reduction in chronic absenteeism.
