Summary

Warren Central Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 381 students in grades K-6 in West Lebanon, Indiana. It is part of the MSD Warren County school district, which is ranked 148 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the nearby Pine Village Elementary and Covington Elementary schools significantly outperform Warren Central in test scores, the school faces some challenges. Its test scores in English Language Arts, math, and science are lower than the state averages, with only 37.05% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/ELA. Additionally, Warren Central has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.7% in 2021-2022 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 50% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Pine Village Elementary (42.62%) and Covington Elementary (45.48%), but lower than Attica Elementary (62.1%). While Warren Central spends more per student than some of the other nearby schools, its academic performance is still lagging, suggesting that simply increasing spending may not be the sole solution.
