Summary
Warren High School in Warren, TX, is a small rural school serving 339 students in grades 9-12 within the Warren Independent School District (Isd), where over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rate of 97.7% in 2023-2024, far surpassing nearby Kountze High School (89.7%) and Woodville High School (89.0%), with a dropout rate of just 0.5% compared to Kountze's 3.5%. However, the school has experienced a sharp decline in its overall state ranking, dropping from a steady 3-star rating to a 2-star rating in the 2025-2026 school year, a more dramatic shift than any neighboring school.
Warren High School shows notable strengths in specific areas, particularly in Biology, where 75.81% of students were proficient in 2025-2026, outpacing the state average of 70.51% and significantly exceeding Kountze (57.14%) and Woodville (55.68%). The school also performs well in English II Reading, meeting or exceeding state averages in three of the last four years. In contrast, Algebra I remains a persistent weakness, with only 34.04% of students proficient in 2025-2026, the lowest among all nearby schools. This creates a clear divide between the school's stronger English and science departments and its struggling math program.
The school's performance for specific student groups is highly inconsistent. For Gifted and Talented students, Warren ranked 4th in the state in 2024-2025 but dropped to the 54th percentile just one year later, suggesting a program that may depend on specific cohorts rather than systemic support. Similarly, support for At-Risk students showed a dramatic turnaround from the bottom 10th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 84th percentile by 2020-2021, but slipped to the 68th percentile by 2021-2022. These fluctuations indicate that while Warren has the capacity to achieve elite results for some groups, maintaining consistent, school-wide quality remains a challenge, despite its low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.5:1.
