Summary:
In zip code 71671, there is one high school, Warren High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the Warren School District with a total enrollment of 480 students.
Warren High School is a school facing significant academic challenges despite substantial resources. The school spends $17,289 per student and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, yet its state ranking has dropped from the 37th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 16th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 1-star rating. Test proficiency rates are well below state averages across all subjects, with the most dramatic gaps in STEM fields: only 8.8% of students are proficient in Geometry (compared to 26.4% statewide) and just 11.8% in Biology (compared to 42.7% statewide). English Language Arts proficiency stands at 20.4%, roughly half the state average of 39.4%. Notably, 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating the entire student body comes from economically disadvantaged households.
Despite these low test scores, Warren High School maintains a graduation rate of 91.5%, slightly above the state average of 90.1%, with a dropout rate of 3.7%. This disconnect between academic performance and graduation rates suggests the school may be effective at keeping students on track to graduate even if they are not meeting state academic benchmarks. The school's downward trend is concerning, as its star rating has dropped from 2 stars to 1 star over two years, indicating that other schools in Arkansas are improving at a faster pace. For parents, this school offers small class sizes and significant per-student spending, but faces serious challenges in raising academic achievement, particularly in science and advanced math.
