Summary

In Bowling Green, Kentucky, Warren Elementary serves 714 students in grades K–6 in an area with several nearby elementary-school options. Its 2025–26 KSA results are well below state and Warren County averages in core subjects: across grades 3–5, Warren averaged 21% proficiency in math, compared with 43% statewide and 44% districtwide, and 30% in reading, compared with 50% statewide and 52% districtwide. Nearby-school averages were 38% in math and 45% in reading. The most important takeaway is that Warren trails the state, district, and nearby schools across most core results.

Fifth-grade writing is Warren’s clearest strength: 46% were proficient, above the state’s 35% and the nearby-school average of 42%, though below the district’s 57%. Social studies is its sharpest weakness: 15% proficiency compared with 38% statewide, 40% districtwide, and a nearby average of 33%. Sixth grade is stronger than Warren’s grades 3–5 in math and reading, at 25% and 38%, respectively, but remains behind other nearby schools serving grade 6, which averaged 50% in math and 61% in reading.

Scores have improved in several areas, but Warren’s overall standing remains low. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, fourth-grade reading rose from 12% to 31%, fifth-grade writing from 14% to 46%, and fifth-grade math from 13% to 21%. SchoolDigger places Warren at the 12th percentile statewide with 1 star, up from the 2nd percentile in 2022–23; it ranks 9th of 11 nearby schools listed by percentile. One notable group result is SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students: Warren was at the 30th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 4th percentile in 2022–23. As context, the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, among the lowest nearby, while 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism fell from 23% in 2022–23 to 14% in 2025–26, but remained above the district’s 13% and the nearby-school average of 10%.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, May 27, 2013

Warren Elementary is one of the most culturally diverse schools in the Bowling Green/Warren County community. They have the highest English as a Second Language and Special Education population in the area. Teachers work hard to meet both the basic needs and educational needs of students. The Free/Reduced Lunch graph on this site is grossly inaccurate as the percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch is well into the 90% range. Close Quote
