Summary:
The Warren School District in Arkansas is home to two elementary schools: Warren Elementary School (grades KG-3, 402 students) and Thomas C Brunson Elementary School (grades 4-5, 193 students). While both schools serve a high-poverty student population, the data analysis reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with Thomas C Brunson Elementary consistently outperforming Warren Elementary across various academic metrics.
Thomas C Brunson Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking (261 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools) and significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to both Warren Elementary and the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Thomas C Brunson had a 42.3% proficiency rate in 5th grade ELA, while Warren Elementary's rate was just 22.5%.
In contrast, Warren Elementary School struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. This is consistent with its low statewide ranking of 402 out of 495 Arkansas elementary schools. The factors contributing to this performance gap, such as teaching quality, curriculum, or resource allocation, warrant further investigation by the district to support the improvement of Warren Elementary School.
