Summary:
ZIP code 42171 has two elementary schools: South Edmonson Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 4 and has 453 students, while North Warren Elementary serves prekindergarten through grade 6 and has 436. In the five 2025–2026 results directly shared by both schools—grades 3 and 4 math and reading, plus grade 4 science—South scored higher every time, by 10 to 21 percentage points. That consistent lead is the clearest distinction for families comparing results in the same grades.
South Edmonson stands out in the shared grades, with scores above the state in all five results: its reading proficiency was 64% in grade 3 and 61% in grade 4, respectively 15 and 11 points above state results; its grade 4 science score was 54%, 14 points above the state. North Warren was below the state in four of the five shared results, including grade 4 reading (40% versus 50%). Its results are stronger in some older grades and subjects: grade 5 writing was 59% versus 35% statewide, and grade 6 reading was 63% versus 54%. Those results offer a counterpoint, though they are not direct comparisons with South.
Across 17 results available for both years, the schools’ average advantage over state results narrowed from 6 percentage points in 2024–2025 to 5 points in 2025–2026. Changes varied: South’s grade 4 science rose 20 points, while its grade 3 math fell 11; North’s social studies rose 21 points, while its grade 6 math fell 13. SchoolDigger ranked South 135th of 684 statewide (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, compared with North at 312th (54th percentile, 3 stars). Their SchoolDigger percentiles moved in opposite directions from the prior year: South rose from 73 to 80, and North fell from 60 to 54. The schools also reported similar context measures: 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios were 16.0 at South and 15.9 at North, and both reported free/reduced lunch eligible—55% at South and 59% at North.
