Allen J Warren Elementary School

Summary:

Allen J Warren Elementary School is a public elementary school in Highland, Indiana, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the School Town of Highland district, which is ranked 87 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Allen J Warren stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (23.97%) and Hispanic (35.21%) students compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school has consistently outperformed the School Town of Highland district and the state of Indiana in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 47.65% of all students at Allen J Warren were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45% for the district, and 61.07% were proficient or better in Math, compared to 47.2% for the district. Additionally, the school has seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 22.3% in 2021-2022 to 11.9% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the district average.

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.

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.
