Summary

Southeast Warren Primary is an elementary school located in Milo, Iowa, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 129 students. It is part of the Southeast Warren Community School District, which is ranked 106 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southeast Warren Primary consistently outperforms the state average in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores for both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3 and 4. In 2024-2025, 75.9% of 3rd graders and 81.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 67.9% and 76%, respectively. In the same year, 79.3% of 3rd graders and 86.4% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 75.8% and 74.3%. This consistent academic performance is a strength of the school.

However, Southeast Warren Primary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.1% to 23.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and the rates of some nearby schools like Runnells Elementary (21.6%) and Martensdale Elementary School (21.6%). Additionally, 34.11% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than some nearby schools but lower than others, indicating socioeconomic challenges that may impact student learning. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 12.3, suggests more individualized attention for students.
