Best Public Schools in Warren, ME

Summary:

The city of Warren, Maine has only one school, the Warren Community School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 304 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 40/Maine School Admin District 40, which is ranked 82 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Warren Community School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts higher than the district and state averages, but lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science. The school's performance has also been declining over the past few years, with lower scores in 2023-2024 compared to 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% and a high percentage of students (49.67%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, the academic challenges faced by the Warren Community School suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the declining performance and high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues may be crucial in ensuring that all students at the Warren Community School have access to a high-quality education.
