Summary:
Warrensburg-Latham CUSD 11 has three schools serving students from PK through grade 12: an elementary school, a middle school and a high school. In 2025–2026, the two K–8 schools were above state proficiency rates in both IAR English language arts (ELA) and math, while high-school results varied by subject and grade. The clearest concern is grade 11 ACT math, where proficiency was 22% at Warrensburg-Latham High School, 18 points below the state rate.
The middle school stands out for ELA, while the elementary school leads in math. All-grades ELA proficiency was 73% at Warrensburg-Latham Middle School and 62% at Warrensburg-Latham Elementary School, an 11-point difference; in math, elementary was 55% and middle 43%, a 12-point difference in the other direction. Both were above state rates, with the middle school 16 points above state in ELA and 4 above in math, and elementary 5 above in ELA and 15 above in math. Middle-school grade 8 science also stood out: 60% proficient, 8 points above state. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings place the middle school highest at the 68th percentile, followed by elementary at the 61st and high school at the 53rd.
Recent trends are mixed: the average K–8 advantage over state in ELA narrowed from 20 points in 2024–2025 to 11 points in 2025–2026, while the math advantage stayed near 9 points. High-school grade 9 and 10 PreACT math and science results improved, but grade 11 ACT math fell 5 points over the same two years. SchoolDigger rankings also declined from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026: 16 percentile points at elementary, 8 at middle and 6 at high school. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 52% at each K–8 school and 39% at high school; student-teacher ratios were 16.1, 13.7 and 17.7, respectively. These are observations, not explanations for differences in results.
