Warden High School

Summary:

Warden High School is a public high school serving 286 students in grades 9-12 in Warden, Washington. The school is part of the Warden School District, which is ranked 221 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warden High School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher Hispanic student population (80.07%) compared to the state average (22.7%), consistently lower academic performance on standardized tests, declining graduation rates, and a very high percentage of students (81.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Vanguard Academy, Moses Lake High School, and Othello High School across various metrics. However, Warden High School's Hispanic and White student subgroups perform better than the overall school, and the school is effectively supporting its migrant student population.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's lower performance compared to nearby schools suggest that Warden High School may benefit from additional resources, targeted interventions, and collaboration with the community to address the unique needs of its student population. By addressing these challenges, the school can work to improve its academic performance, graduation rates, and better serve its diverse student body.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
