Summary

Warsaw Elementary School serves 213 students in PK–6 in Warsaw, Illinois, and SchoolDigger places it at the 52nd percentile statewide, with 3 stars. Its clearest standout is fifth-grade science: 70% of Warsaw fifth-graders were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 48% statewide and 52% at Nauvoo Elementary School and 46% at Hamilton Elementary School—a 23-point advantage over the state.

That science result contrasts with weaker all-grades ELA and math. Warsaw’s ELA proficiency was 42%, 14 points below the state and below nearby Nauvoo (56%), Carthage Primary School (47%) and Hamilton (60%); it was lowest among the four schools. Math was 26%, also 14 points below the state, and 3 points below the nearby-school average; Warsaw ranked third of the four. The reported school results match those of Warsaw CUSD 316, which SchoolDigger ranks at the 55th percentile with 3 stars.

ELA has improved: proficiency rose from 19% in 2023–24 to 42% in 2025–26, narrowing its state gap from 22 points to 14. Math rose from 18% to 26% over those years, but its state gap widened from 10 to 14 points. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile rose from 29 in 2021–22 to 52 in 2025–26, though it fluctuated in between. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 10.5, below the nearby average of 11.8, and 39% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking was notably higher for Low Socio Economic Status Students in 2024–25 (58th percentile) than the school overall (37th); for White Students in 2025–26, it was lower (19th versus 52nd). All-grades comparisons have limits because nearby schools serve different grade spans, and results at a school this size may be less stable.
