Summary

Warren Central Elementary School in West Lebanon, Indiana, is a K–6 school serving 376 students as one of three elementary schools in MSD Warren County. For 2025–2026 it ranks 466th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 54th percentile, or 3 stars — putting it squarely in the middle of the state's elementary schools.

The school is on an upswing: three straight years of improvement (45th, then 50th, then 54th percentile) and a return to 3 stars after a two-year dip. Nearly all of that gain came from math, which rose 9.6 points over four years, including a 5.9-point jump in the most recent year, while reading has been essentially flat for four years. Among nearby schools, Covington Elementary School (61st percentile) and Pine Village Elementary School (99th percentile) rank higher, while Williamsport Elementary School (35th), Attica Elementary School (27th) and Southeast Fountain Elementary (54th) rank at or below Warren Central. Warren Central also has the largest classes (15:1) and the lowest per-student spending ($10,707) in its district, yet posts the district's second-best results.

Chronic absenteeism is the school's quiet strength: 9.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, below the district (13.6%) and the state (16.7%), and it has beaten both for five straight years — well ahead of Williamsport (15.8%), just 5 miles away. The clearest thing to watch is math by grade: 60% of third graders were proficient versus 36% of sixth graders, a 24-point drop, while reading varies by only about 7 points across grades. Science (43.4%) also trails the district by 7.1 points. Because the grade-level data covers a single year, the upper-grade math fade may reflect cohort differences rather than instruction.
