Summary:
The city of Warroad, Minnesota is home to two public schools: Warroad High School and Warroad Elementary, both part of the Warroad Public School District. While both schools serve the Warroad community, the data analysis reveals that Warroad Elementary is the standout performer, consistently outpacing the high school and the state averages in key academic metrics.
Warroad Elementary has consistently ranked higher than Warroad High School in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, placing 359th out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The elementary school has outperformed the district and state averages in several key areas, including math and reading proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. This may be attributed to the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 13.8, compared to 22 at Warroad High School.
While Warroad High School maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has dropped from 134th in 2022-2023 to 127th in 2023-2024, and its academic proficiency rates in math and reading are generally below the state average. Additionally, the district may need to address potential equity issues, as Warroad Elementary has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to the high school. The district could also consider ways to promote greater racial diversity in both schools, as they currently have a predominantly white student population.
