Warren CUSD 205

Summary:

The Warren CUSD 205 district in Illinois has two schools - Warren Elementary School and Warren Junior/Senior High School. While Warren Elementary School is a standout performer with consistently high rankings and test scores, Warren Junior/Senior High School has seen more fluctuations in its academic performance.

Warren Elementary School has a statewide rank between 140-179 out of over 2,000 Illinois elementary schools and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel academically, with 84.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 77.8% in Mathematics. In contrast, Warren Junior/Senior High School's performance has been more uneven, with its ranking dropping from 114 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 364 out of 697 in 2023-2024 before improving to 263 out of 698 in 2024-2025. Its test scores, particularly in Mathematics, are also lower than the elementary school, with only 39.5% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and similar free/reduced lunch rates around 44%. However, the district appears to allocate resources fairly, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the two schools. The stark contrast in academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play, and the district could benefit from investigating the root causes and implementing targeted interventions to improve outcomes, especially at the high school level.
