Warden School District

The Warden School District in Washington state consists of three schools: Warden Elementary, Warden High School, and Warden Middle School. The data analysis reveals that the district is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its predominantly Hispanic student population, with all three schools performing below the state average on various metrics.

Across the district, student proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are alarmingly low, with only 16.22% of 3rd graders at Warden Elementary proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 48.9%. The 4-year graduation rate at Warden High School is also lower than the state average, at 80.3%, with a relatively high dropout rate of 11.4%. Additionally, all three schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.82% at Warden High School to 97.24% at Warden Elementary, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the district.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending, which ranges from $16,636 at Warden Elementary to $19,505 at Warden High School, the schools in the Warden School District are consistently underperforming. This suggests a need for a deeper examination of resource allocation and utilization within the district, as well as addressing the systemic issues and socioeconomic barriers that may be hindering the educational outcomes of the students.
