Summary:
The city of Warren, Arkansas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in the Warren School District generally underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, a few schools stand out as relative bright spots.
Thomas C Brunson Elementary School appears to be the highest performing school in the district, with stronger test scores across English Language Arts, Reading, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. Warren Middle School also performs better than the district average, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. However, the district's test scores, especially in subjects like Geometry and Biology, generally lag behind state-level performance.
A key factor contributing to the schools' challenges may be the high rates of economic disadvantage, with all 4 schools having very high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.75% to 100%. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student, compared to state averages, could be limiting the schools' ability to provide the necessary resources and support for students. Despite these obstacles, the data suggests that understanding the factors behind the success of the higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for improving the overall performance of the Warren School District.
