Summary:
The Warren School District is served by a single high school, Warren High School, which enrolls 480 students in grades 9 through 12 and is located in Warren, Arkansas.
Warren High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 30% of Arkansas high schools with a declining trend from the 37th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 16th percentile in 2025-2026. Test proficiency rates are well below state averages across all subjects, with the largest gaps in Biology (11.8% proficient vs. 42.7% statewide) and Geometry (8.8% vs. 26.4%). Despite these low scores, the school maintains a graduation rate of 91.5%, slightly above the state average of 90.1%, though this raises questions about whether graduates are meeting college or career-ready benchmarks. The dropout rate is 3.7%.
A critical factor is that 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a student body facing profound socioeconomic challenges. The school spends $17,289 per student and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, suggesting above-average resources that are not translating into higher test scores or an improved state ranking. This disconnect points to systemic issues in instruction or curriculum alignment, compounded by the impact of concentrated poverty. The school's steady decline in state ranking over three years is a concerning trend that warrants attention from the district.
