Summary:
Warren, Arkansas is home to a single middle school, Warren Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 with an enrollment of 331 students and is part of the Warren School District.
Warren Middle School shows a clear and positive trajectory, moving from the 24th percentile in state rankings three years ago to the 49th percentile today. The school's standout strength is in Mathematics, where overall proficiency (47%) exceeds the state average (44.1%), and Algebra proficiency (61.6%) dramatically outperforms both the district (29.9%) and state (36.9%) averages. However, Science proficiency (37.8%) lags behind the state average (44.0%), and English Language Arts (36.4%) and Reading (36.5%) also fall slightly below state benchmarks. The school consistently outperforms its district in every subject area, serving as a high-performing anchor within the Warren School District.
With a student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and spending of $8,873 per student, the school serves a community where 99.7% of students receive free or reduced lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite this, the school has achieved above-average results in Mathematics and shown a strong upward trend in its overall state ranking, pointing to a resilient and effective school community. The Algebra proficiency rate is a notable anomaly—while it far exceeds general state averages, 8th graders taking Algebra perform below the state average for that specific group, suggesting the school may be enrolling a broader range of students in advanced coursework, a positive equity move that may require additional support.
